ALBERTA ALBERTA
(Gordon)
As recorded by Jimmie Gordon and His Vip Vop Band, on Decca (7490 A), 1938.

Alberta, Alberta, where have you been so long? (2x)
I ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone.

Alberta, Alberta, where did you stay last night? (2x)
You came home this mornin', the sun was shinin' bright.

Alberta, Alberta, when I crossed the sea, (2x)
She didn't write me no letter; she don't care for me.

I love Alberta; tell the world I do. (2x)
Just a little bit o' lovin' make your heart be true.

Alberta, Alberta, dear gal o' mine. (2x)
She left me this mornin' rollin' an' cryin'.

Goodbye, Alberta, and fare you well. (2x)
When I get back here, don't anyone tell.
