THAT PRETTY LITTLE BLACK MUSTACHE (LITTLE BLACK MUSTACHE) Sung by: W.P. Detherow Recorded in Batesville, AR, 6/25/52 Click here to listen to the original recording I loved him dearer than life. I often thought the time would come That I would be his wife. His pockets, they were lined with gold, Although he owned the cash, With a diamond ring and a watch and chain And a pretty little black mustache. Oh, that pretty little black mustache, That darling black mustache. Every time I think of him, My heart beats like a flash. Oh, that charming black mustache, Them darling black mustache. If you must know, I caught a beau With a pretty little black mustache. (Mr. Detherow: "And that's all there is to that.")
