A popular song from 1911
Words by Lew Brown
Music by Albert Von Tilzer
The sheet music:
Lyrics
- I’ve got the blues and I think it’s because
I’ve never had a steady beau
I sit and sigh just a wondering why
I cannot do some spooning, and some crooning
Like the other boys I know
I’ll tell to you, just what I’ll do
Refrain:
I’m going to steal some other fellow’s girlie
If I can’t find one of my own
I’ve tried but all in vain to find
A sweetheart who’ll be good and kind
And cheer me when I’m weary
All day long I dream about a little girlie
I have never known
So I’m going to steal some other fellow’s girl
If I can’t find on of my own
- I often see girls who look good to me
But then I never stand a show
I scheme all day just to find a way
To get a girl who’ll kiss me
One who’ll miss me
One to say “I love you so”
I’m going to show that I’m not slow
