Subject: Lyr Add: I'LL TAKE HER BACK (Stan Boreson)
This novelty song is NOT sung with a Scandinavian accent. Boreson accompanies himself on accordion. You can hear it at the Internet Archive:
I'LL TAKE HER BACK As recorded by Stan Boreson, Linden (102 B), 1948.
Though she's cheated me before And I know she'll cheat some more, I'll take her back; I'll take her back. Though she's broken ev'ry part Of my sad and aching heart, I'll take her back; I'll take her back. She told me she's a one-man woman, that gal o' mine. Yep, she's a one-man woman—one man at a time. I'll let her go out with men On the weekends now and then, If she'll come back, if she'll come back.
Though she's left me all alone With a mortgage on our home, I'll take her back; I'll take her back. Though she's broken ev'ry vow, Still, the way that I feel now, I'll take her back; I'll take her back. [§] My better judgment tells me that she will do me harm, But you can't hold your better judgment in your empty arms. As I live, I'll never learn. If she only will return, I'll take her back; I'll take her back.
[Repeat from §.]
I'll take her lips. I'll take her heart. I'll take her back. I'll take her back.
