Lyr. Add: MANDY LEE
Thurland Chattaway, 1899

Many years ago today,
Wedding bells were ringing gay,
Seemed as if they sang a song of love to me;
At the meeting house in town
All the folks were gathered round;
Down the aisle I proudly walked with Mandy Lee.
As we stood together there
A little sunbeam touched her hair,
Just as if it loved her too, the same as I;
Then the parson bowed his head,
Placed her hand in mine and said:
"Love and honor one another 'till you die."

Chorus:
Mandy Lee I love you, 'deed I do my Mandy Lee,
Your eyes they shine like diamonds, love, to me.
Seems as though my heart would break without you, Mandy Lee,
'Cause I love you, Mandy, 'deed I do, my Mandy Lee.
