Nesbitt Brothers - I would have told you Lyrics
My heart was truly broken, when I got home last nightThat sweet girl that I loved, was in bed with my best friendHe said “I would have told you but, you’re my best friend”He said “I would have told you but you wouldn‘t comprehend”I was heading down the street, my head was in a twirlI bumped into the sheriff and told him about my girlHe said “listen hear young fella, I’ve been with that lady tooand so have all my deputies and that makes quite a few”I went to see my doctor my brain was fit to burstI told him my story He said “It just gets worse”She came round here this morning and took me on the floorShe did the same again three times and then came back for moreharmonica soloI went to see my Mamma and told her what she’d doneShe said “you can’t begrudge her, ’cos she’s only having fun”When I was at her age I was just the sameI don’t know who your father is but your Daddy took the blameShe said “I would have told you but, you’re a real nice boy”She said “I could have told you things that you would not enjoy”I went to see my Daddy he said “son, take a seat”I told him all my troubles and then he turned to meAnd he said “I would have told you but, you’re a real nice boy”But when she got into my bed last night (Sudden STOP)5 bars of silence“I just can’t take any more”Sad harmonica wind down.
