I took you down to a river side
|
With a picnic basket and a box of wine.
|
You said, "My love, this ain't no fun.
|
Treat me like a lady, not a simpleton."
|
|
Well I tried, I tried,
|
To keep you satisfied.
|
Give my heart, but you don't seem to care.
|
Some day you may find
|
A rich man who will buy
|
A golden comb to tame your wild hair.
|
|
Went to town,
|
And I thought we might
|
Have a quiet stroll under street lights.
|
You said, "My love, this ain't no good.
|
You're as romantic as a knot on wood."
|
|
Well I tried, and I tried,
|
To keep you satisfied.
|
Give my heart, but you don't seem to care.
|
Some day you may find
|
A rich man who will buy
|
A golden comb to tame your wild hair.
|
|
Keep your ribbons tied,
|
Straighten up your bows.
|
|
Keep your head held high,
|
Powder on your nose.
|
|
Well I tried, and I tried,
|
To keep you satisfied.
|
Give my heart, but you don't seem to care.
|
Some day you may find
|
A rich man who will buy
|
A golden comb to tame your wild hair.
|
A golden comb to tame your wild hair!
