Here's Randolph #382B, from Mrs. Emma L. Dusenbury of Mena, Arkansas, November 13, 1929. Mrs. Dusenbury callis it "He Wears a White Hat." No tune available for this one.
He Wears a White Hat
(Randolph 382B)
I love somebody, I do, Mamma,
I love somebody too, ha ha ha!
But don't you tell Pa,
For I can't help it, you know, Mamma.
He's coming to see me, he is, Mamma,
He's coming to see me, ha ha ha!
But don't you tell Pa,
For I can't help it, you know, Mamma.
He wears a white hat, he does, Mamma,
He wears a white hat, ha ha ha!
But don't you tell Pa,
For I can't help it, you know, Mamma.
We're going to be married, we are, Mamma,
We're going to be married, ha ha ha!
But don't you tell Pa,
For I can't help it, you know, Mamma.
Next Thursday night it is, Mamma,
Next Thursday night, ha ha ha!
But don't you tell Pa,
For I can't help it, you know, Mamma.
Oh, now we're married, we are, Mamma,
Oh now we're married, ha ha ha!
An' you can tell pa,
For I don't care, you know, Mamma.
The tune is similar to the Lomax tune, but different enough to warrant posting.
