There may be a break in the road   The future looks drab and dreary   But if you were here with me, dear   I'd spin you a line that's far from cheer   There's always some scribe   Who's taken the bribe   Describing some Gentleman Jim   Who says he's in love with a beautiful girl   But she don't care about him      Say what you do   That sky is much to blue   You'll know sorrow   That's deeper than the ocean   It's a pitiful chain of events   You'd think that I might have more sense   He says   "The birds in the braches may whistle and croon   "But they're singing out of tune"      There may be bend in the track   But if you come back to see me   I'll be waiting patiently here   And if you believe that then I fear   There's always some clown   Who's bringing me down   By humming a tragic refrain   He says he's in love with a beautiful girl   But he doesn't know her name
