Hi, just wondering if anyone can help with the chords to this Max Miller song. I think I have all lyrics correct. Many thanks in advance.   J.


SHE SAID SHE WOULDN'T
As sung by Max Miller

Gertie was a good girl till the day that she met me.
Gertie was refined but liked to show her dignity.
I told her that I loved her, then I asked her for a kiss.
When I whispered in her ear, what happened then was this:

CHORUS: She said she wouldn't; I'd an idea that she would.
She said she shouldn't, but I told her that she should.
She said she couldn't, 'cause she wanted to be good.
She said she wouldn't; I thought perhaps she would.

I kissed her on her birthday; she said that it was swell.
Squeezed her 'round the duck pond, 'round the Marble Arch as well.
She said: "I'd like to, but I'm not that kind of kid."
She said she didn't, but I soon found out she did.

Gertie said: "No, stop, you've gone as far as you can go.
At kissin' I've forgotten more than you will ever know."
She said: "It's sheiks like you that leads poor girls like me astray."
I said: "There's no harm in a kiss," as she pushed me away.

CHORUS: She said she wouldn't; I'd an idea that she would.
She said she shouldn't, "When I'm trying to be good."
I tried to coax her; on her dignity she stood.
She said she wouldn't; I thought perhaps she would.

I took her to the pictures, thought now we sha'n't be long,
Put my arms around her, but she said: "You've got me wrong."
When it was over, I tumbled what she meant:
She was a good girl; like a good girl, Gertie went.
