Subject: RE: Lyr Req: She Was Poor (Same The Whole World Over)
Dayton [O.] Daily News (June 10, 1923):

“[In Paris] There wasn’t a dry eye in the house ....

And ‘er parents in the country,
In the cottage where they live,
Drinks the champagne that she sends ‘em,
But they never can forgive.

It’s the same the wide world over,
It’s the poor that gets the blime,
It’s the rich that ‘as the pleasures,
Isn’t it a bleedin’ shame?”
