Send Back That Man Who Can Love

Abstract

[Verse 1] I know and I told you so! Some day you’d to go away. And tho’ it will grieve me, When you leave me, There’s one thing I’m sure of, Honey believe me, Love is a thing that money can’t buy; Success is uncertain,Even tho’ you may try And you’ll find you have a lot to learn Before you die, You’ll remember what I’m saying To you bye and bye [Chorus] When you have had your automobiles And when you have had lots of money, Diamond rings. And pretty things, And ev’rybody’s called you, “Honey.” When you’ve been jollied along You’ll find there’s something dead wrong, And you’ll pray each day When you’re far away; On your knees you’ll beg of The Lord above, “Take a way my wealth and just leave my health And send back that man, Good Lord! If you can, Send back that man who can love!” [Verse 2] You’ll find the world is unkind, You’ll smile just for a little while; Like playing the races, Luck embraces. At first all you’ll see will be smiling faces But, dear, the day goodluck turns its back Glad smiles will not greet you, And all things will look black And you’ll start to wonder what it is you lack? Then your heart that slipped the trolley Will get on the track [Chorus
