I was trembling as I put on my jacket It had creases as a knife I put the ring in my pocket
but there was a note And my heart it jumped into my mouth It read,"Darling I'm sorry to hurt you But I've no courage to speak to your face But I'm down in virginia with your cousin Lou And there'll be no wedding today" So help me please Doctor, I'm damaged You can put back my heart in its hole Oh, Mama I'm crying tears of relief And my pules is now under control, yep!
