Lyrics
1. I loves a girl, real dusky pearl
I’d like to call her mine
But she’s always teasing me
She loves to flirt, don’t mean no hurt
Just loves to see me grow wild with jealousy
At ev’ry dance she gets a chance
Flirts until it makes me mighty blue
Then she’ll declare, hun’ don’t you care
‘Cause I don’t love no other man but you, so
Chorus
I ain’t a-goin’ to weep no more
Because my baby tells me that she loves me sure
And I love her too, ‘deed I do
Through and through, I’ll be true
I will be happy all my life
Because my baby told me that she’d be my wife
And I love her more than days of yore
And I ain’t a-goin’ to weep no more
2. She made me go down to a show
Then started in to flirt with an actor on the stage
She only smiled, when I got wild
Seemed to enjoy it ’cause I was in a rage
She whispered low, “Hun’, don’t you know
Women always like to tantalize
I thought you knew I loved but you
No other man can win me if he tries”, so
