Love Alone

It's love, love alone
Caused King Edward to leave the throne
It's love, love alone
Caused King Edward to leave the throne.

I know King Edward was noble and great
But it's love what caused him to "abligate"
It's love, love alone
Caused King Edward to leave the throne.

I know my mammy she's goin' to grieve
He said, "I cannot help I am bound to leave."
It's love, love alone
Caused King Edward to leave the throne

And he got the money and he got the talk
And the fancy walk just to suit New York
It's love, love alone
Caused King Edward to leave the throne.

You can take me throne
You can take me crown
But leave me and Miss Simpson to renown
He say, "It's love, love alone"
Caused King Edward to leave the throne.

Come a reel come a roll upon my mind
I cannot leave Miss Simpson behind
It's love, love alone
Caused King Edward to leave the throne.

If a plane and a ship
Don't carry me free
I'll walk with Miss Simpson
Across the sea
It's love, love alone
Caused King Edward to leave the throne.

On the 10th of December
You heard the talk
When he gave the throne
To the Duke of York
It's love, love alone
Caused King Edward to leave the throne.

Then Baldwin want to break down his stand
He said, "Come to me, you American."
It's love, love alone
Caused King Edward to leave the throne.

Then Baldwin surely break down his stand
He said, "I'm giving up with my Government."
It's love, love alone
Caused King Edward to leave the throne.

If you see Mrs. Simpson across the street
You can guarantee she is a busy bee
It's love, love alone
Caused King Edward to leave the throne.

Let the organ roll
Let the church bell ring
He said "good luck" to our second bachelor King
It's love, love alone
Caused King Edward to leave the throne.
