I LEFT HER STANDING THERE (WITH A DOODAD IN HER HAIR)
Written by Carson Robison, 1936
As recorded by The DeZurik Sisters (a.k.a. The Cackle Sisters), 1938.

You ask me why I'm grievin',
I'll tell you why I'm grievin'
I'm grievin' for the gal that done me wrong
So gather round and listen
And let this be a lesson
You shouldn't never leave your gal too long

'Cause I left her standing there
With a doo-dad in her hair
But I guess she didn't care so much for me
Ah I heard that she was wed
And I wished that I was dead
But the chances are I'll live till ninety-three

[yodel break]

If you think this song is silly
Go right ahead and laugh
But the heart in this hillbilly
Is busted right in half

'Cause I left her standing there
With a doo-dad in her hair
But I guess she didn't care so much for me

[yodel break]

The folks all tried to show me
Just why this gal would throw me
If I should go and leave her by herself
But I just said "You're crazy,
This gal o' mine's a daisy"
But now she's gone and put me on the shelf

[yodel break]

Oh, I left her standing there
With a doo-dad in her hair
I thought when I'd come back she'd be my bride
But when I got out of sight
Oh she didn't leave a night
Till someone else was a-sittin' by her side

[yodel break]

When she said goodbye, she whispered,
"You know I love you best"
And I'll bet two bucks she whispered
The same to all the rest

'Cause I left her standing there
With a doo-dad in her hair
But I guess she didn't care so much for me
