I see lovers out walking,
Ten thousand stood around me,
Oh, I once had it sure, love,
But now she won't have me,
That's all right, my darling,
I'll live single, keep bachelor's home
who could write a fine poem
I would write you a letter
just ten minutes with you
Oh, you wrote me a letter,
you say you've found a new man
I'll dance at your wedding,
I'll drink to the bridegroom
And if I don't get bored,
and I won't sleep tonight
I will watch from my window
I see lovers out walking,
For I once loved her dearly,
