Anyway, I saw the New South sing "You can have her, I don't want her, she didn't love me anyway"... I like it a lot, but can't remember the lyrics, except for the chorus. I searched Digitrad & Forum without success. Thanks in Advance |

"You can have her, I don't want her, she's to fat for me". It never had any more words than that when he sang it. And the tune was similar to Knees Up Mother Brown (last bit) |

From LyricsDownload.com: You Can Have Her Roy Hamilton (written by B.Cook) - (#12 in 1961) Well, you can have her, I don't want her, She didn't love me anyway. She only wanted someone to play with But all I wanted was love to stay. Well, you get stuck with the wrong woman There's only one thing that you can do: Just dig a hole and jump right in it, And pull the ground right over you. (Chorus) Well, you can have her (you can have her) I don't want her ( I don't want her), She didn't love me (didn't love me ) anyway (anyway). She only wanted (only wanted) someone to play with (one to lay with) But all I wanted (all I wanted) was love to stay (was love to stay). The girl I love, she, up and left me, She ran away with my best friend. Comes home at night just for an hour When day light comes she's gone again. (Chorus) Life without love is mighty empty, But confession's good for the soul. I'd rather have love that I can cling to Than have the world and all of it's gold. (You can have her) you can have her, (I don't want her) I don't want her, (She didn't love you) She didn't love me, (anyway) anyway. (She only wanted) she only wanted (someone to play with) some one to play with (But all I wanted) Ohhhhhhhh!(was love to stay)Ohhhhhhhhh! You can have her (you can have her) IIiiiiiiii don't want her (I don't want her) She didn't love me (didn't love me) anyway (anyway) She only wanted (only wanted) someone to play with (someone to play with) But all I want (all I want) All I want (all I want) All I want (all I want) All I want (all I want) . . . . transcribed by Ron Mausolf |

It would be wonderful to talk with you. I have the Roy Hamilton song on CD... in case you're interested. Roy Hamilton was one of my favorite singers... he had a short-live career. He also did a great song title Don't Let Go. I miss seeing you in here, Socorro. All is beautiful with Ruth, me and the Gospel Messengers... Jerry |

22 May 06 - 12:06 AM (#1745156) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: You can have her, I don't want her From: Joe Offer I hope we're forgiven for talking about "Too Fat Polka" in this thread, but the original request was answered. I guess the "Too Fat" recording I remember, is the one by Arthur Godfrey. Since I grew up in the Milwaukee area, I heard it performed by lots of people - probably at a good number of weddings. It was a hit for Frankie Yankovic, too; and the Andrews Sisters also recorded it. So did Bobby Vinton, whom I've heard called The Polish Prince." Jimmy Sturr did a more recent recording, so "Too Fat" ain't dead yet. The song was written in 1947. That means it's older than I am, Khandu. -Joe Offer- |

Everyone in my family loved it and my sister and I always sang along with the record. I think our record was probably by Arthur Godfrey, too. And, I am older than the song.... Rita F |

I know exactly where he needed to put that Uke too.........Dunno' why, just something in that attitude/voice/facial expression......Dubya has the same effect on me but he needs a bass fiddle up his ass instead.
