Just Another Broken Heart

They stood on the beach one evening

Out in the moonlight fair

Twas a boy in the pride of manhood

And a girl in beauty rare

I never had thought that you loved me

An innocent look of surprise

Crept out from beneath her lashes

And into those deep brown eyes

 

Oh sir I was only a-flirting

Only a playing a part

Just another boy's life ruined

Just another broken heart

Sir I'm to be married this winter

Farewell and she gave me her hand

And drawing a robe around her

She left me alone on the sand

He goes with a crowd of passers

Always bitter and cold

Just another boy grown weary

Just another boy grown old

There's a rose grows in your garden

White rose is the symbol of peace

And when I am dead little darling

Plant that rose at my head and my feet

Oh sir I was only flirting

Only a playing a part

Just another boy's life ruined

Just another broken heart
