[Verse 1]
My dear, my dear
She told me one day
That I'd meet my true love
And take her away
She said I'd be happy
And to be good and true
I'd never be lonely, brokenhearted or blue

[Verse 2]
My dear, my dear, just like you said
I met my true love one, and we are to wed
My dear, she's an angel and I'm going to be true
Or else I may lose her
I don't wanna lose her to somebody new

[Verse 3]
My dear, my dear, I was not untrue
I tried hard to please her
But she's gone and I'm blue
My dear, I'm so lonesome, brokenhearted, too
My dear, my dear, oh, my dear, what must I do?
