he told me he loved me....

Subject: he told me he loved me....
From: Penny S

I remember this silly little ditty, but only the beginning of it:

He told me he loved me, but O how he lied, O how he lied, O how he lied. He told me he loved me, but o how he lied, O how he li-i-i-ied.

I feel the need to know all of it, in order to write a very personal parody.

Can anyone help?

Penny

Well, Penny, yesterday was supposed to have been my wedding day, so I think I was walking around all day singing that song in some form or another in my head. But I can't help you with the specific words.

Some wise 'n' wonderful Mudcatter will come up with it in a bit though, I bet.

KC, you shame me. Mine's a teeny tiny problem. My heart goes out to you.

KC, my sympathies about the wedding. Maybe this (click here) will help both you and Penny.

I think Joe has the right song. There was also a recent thread about it; try a search for "neath the lilacs" in the subject.

I think maybe we all had the WRONG guy ;(

My sympathies as well, KC - at least I hadn't planned a wedding.

Thanks, Joe, that's the one. My sister's learned it in the Guides (that's Girl Scouts to you).

A search for [how he lied] got three hits, 2 of which are versions of the song I think you mean. Since it could be "O" or "Oh" or "OH!" I did not include that in the search specs.

That's obviously where I went wrong. Thanks. I am at work on the parody, which will satisfy me, but I think should not be broadcast in so public a medium, to protect the guilty. It starts:

"I won't see her again, and I mean it," he cried,

and I expect you can guess the sort of thing that follows.
