I LOVE YOU JUST THE SAME (RAGGED NEWSBOY) Sung by: Mrs. Ben Daugherty Recorded in Cave City, AR 8/10/1958 Click here to listen to the original recording Since you moved just next door. Your Daddy built a mansion big and grand, While just a little cottage Is the place that I call home. Still we played on together, hand in hand. Ain't I been always lover When you've been my sweetheart true? When things went wrong, I always took the blame. You're going away to college now, And I just come to say, "I loves you, girly, loves you just the same. "I'm just a ragged newsboy, But my heart's true blue. Don't turn me down because you're leaving now. The rich folks say that money can't buy everything. I swear it could not buy my love for you. So don't forget, whatever comes, I'll still be waiting here. I loves you, girly, loves you just the same. You're going away to college now To learn fine things at school. I never had a chance like that, you see. I always stayed at home and worked So Sis could go instead. She's 'bout the only one who cares for me. Just tell me that your heart won't change For some young college swell. He'll never, never love you half as well as I, So don't forget, whatever comes, I'll still be waiting here. I loves you, girly, loves you 'til I die. |
