OH WHAT A FACE
As recorded by Sticks McGhee, 1951.

1. He carries her picture in his pocket.
It was taken the day he went to sea.
He carries her picture in his locket,
Though she is as ugly can be.

CHORUS: Oh, what a face! (Oh, what a face!)
It's a disgrace (it's a disgrace)
To be showin' it in any public place.

2. One mornin' he took her to a pig farm.
He told her to wait down by the rail,
But when he returned he couldn't find her.
The farmer had put her up for sale. CHORUS

3. A tragedy occurred when she got married.
A bridal veil her face did fully hide.
She lifted it to kiss her lovin' husband.
He screamed and committed suicide. CHORUS
