NOBODY’S SWEETHEART
Words and music by Gus Kahn, Ernie Erdman, Billy Meyers & Elmer Schoebel, ©1924.

1. You were ev’rybody’s sweetheart, not so long ago,
And in our home town each boy around
Longed to be your beau;
But things are diff’rent today,
I’m mighty sorry to say:

CHORUS: You’re nobody’s sweetheart now.
They don’t baby you somehow.
Fancy hose, silken gown—
You’d be out of place in your own home town.
When you walk down the avenue,
I just can’t believe that it’s you—
Painted lips, painted eyes,
Wearing a bird of paradise.
It all seems wrong somehow,
That you’re nobody’s sweetheart now.

2. In a simple gown of gingham, I can see you still
As you went your way at close of day,
Past the old red mill.
You’re dressed in satins today,
But still your eyes seem to say: CHORUS

Tampa Red recorded this song in 1934, under the title NOBODY’S SWEETHEART NOW. He sang only the chorus, and his words were slightly different, posted here. There were many other recordings, including one by Vernon Dalhart with a dance orchestra.
