Now this is my sad story.
I never will
forget the day.
In the year of 1951,
on the 26th of May.
As
I walked into my building,
a crowd was all gathered around.
Well,
they were standing there
seeming to be in awe.
With their heads all
hanging down.
And the mister stood a doctor.
He was standing gazing on.
That was the only woman in the world I ever loved.
Well, she's gone.
She's gone.
On her bed there lay the letter.
Said be just as good as you can be.
Well, I'm sorry I couldn't be with you.
So
you could have these last few
words with me.
Well,
I've left you now.
In this old world all along.
Well, I've left you now.
In this old world all along.
I've got my happy days.
But I can have no more happy halls.
