The Og Origins: Don't Cry, Lady, I'll Buy Your...Violets (22) RE: Origins: Don't Cry, Lady, I'll Buy Your...Violets 19 May 23


We sing a Medley as follows...

"Don't Cry Lady" is the Chorus.


Don’t Cry Medley (A/D = G/C on 2)

G                     C
Don’t cry lady, I’ll buy your stinking violets,
G                                                       D
Don’t cry lady, I’ll buy your pencils too,
G                      C
Don’t cry lady, take off those colored glasses,
G                      D                  G
Hello, Mother, I knew it was you.
   
             C                                     F
About a year ago September, as close as I remember,
         C                                                   G
I was walking down the street in tipsy pride,
         C                                        F
Not a soul was I disturbing, as I lay down by the curbing,
             C                         G                        C                     
When a pig came up and lay down by my side.

As I lay there in the gutter, thinking thoughts I cannot utter,
A lady passing by was heard to say:
“You can tell a fool who boozes by the company he chooses,”
And the pig got up and slowly walked away

        _ _ _ _ _


       C               E7                A7
The girl of my dreams has dyed her hair…
            Dm          A7    Dm
    and now its a fiery red,
       G7                                          C             A7
She drinks, she smokes and she tells dirty jokes…
          D7                              G7
    she hasn’t a brain in her head.
       C             E7                A7
The girl of my dreams is a cigarette fiend…
          Dm                A7               Dm
    she drinks more booze than I,
             F             Cdim                  C                   A7
But the girl of my dreams ain’t as dumb as she seems…
                     D7                   G7          C
    she’s the sweetheart of six other guys.

            C                                     F
Oh the liquor was spilled on the barroom floor,
             C
And the bar was closed for the night.
                                                      F
When a little mouse crept from a hole in the wall,
C               G             C
Out in the pale moonlight.

Well, he lapped up the liquor on the barroom floor,
And upon his haunches he sat.
And all night long, you could hear him roar…
"Bring on the damned ol’ cat!“
