Why Did You Give Me Your Love
Jimmie Rodgers
[Intro]
Mmm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm, mmm, mmm
[Verse 1]
Oh, why did you give me your love, dear
When it only lasted a day?
Why did you teach me to love you
Only to turn me away?
You promised that you would be true
Your promise was all in vain
But my heart keeps calling for you, dear
Like the flowers call for the rain
[Verse 2]
You may be sorry someday, dear
That you have broken my heart
That you have cast me away, dear
And fooled me from the start
This is my last appeal, dear
I've only a word to say
Why did you give me your love, dear
When it lasted only a day?
When it lasted only a day?
