Lyrics

Oh, dearie me, I’m so lonesome
Since my Papa went away
Nobody kisses or loves me
All by myself I must play
My new Papa never pets me
Somehow we do not agree
Anything happens, he blames me
Sure to say “Always me”

CHORUS
Always me, always me
They won’t play with me they say
And they always run away
Always me, seems I’m nobody
Never Billie, Grace or Millie
Always me

VERSE 2
I wish somebody would tell me
Is heaven so far away
Maybe I’ll find my own Papa
He’ll play with me very day
My Mamma no longer loves me
She’s always busy you see
I wish the angels would take me
They won’t say “Always me”
