NEVER MIND
Written by Harry Dent & Tom Goldburn.
As recorded by Walter Duncan, 1914. (Included on "Oh! It's a Lovely War, Vol. 3" (2003))

"Oh, he wants you to forget him," said a grey-haired man in tears,
As he read his daughter's letter, still a girl of tender years.
"He has left you for another that has crept into his heart.
Just forgive him and forget him; 'twould be better so to part."
Then as he gently stroked her head,
In tender tones to her he said:

"Though your heart may ache awhile, never mind.
Though your face may lose its smile, never mind;
For there's sunshine after rain,
And there's gladness follows pain.
You'll be happy once again; never mind."
