Blubber like a baby if her man goes away?
I don't know, why? Do you know something I don't?
Weeping and a' wailing like he done her wrong.
Weeping and a-wailing how he's "done her wrong"? That's one thing you'll NEVER hear me say. :P
Never gonna say that the man i love is the only man among men. (boy howdy, you can say that again)
there's a misquote here. The proper lyric is "womern" not "woman." Hammerstein prided himself on accurate regional dialect within his lyrics.
I have always thought that the lyric for "Many a New Day" is one of the very best show lyrics ever. It is simply beyond brilliant. Books should be written about it.
of the "someday my prince will come even if i'm not expecting him or particularly wanting one" songs, i also like WAITING FOR MY DEARIE and I'M NOT AT ALL IN LOVE.
I'll snap my fingers to show I don't care
I'll buy me a brand new dress to wear
And I'm from Oklahoma, and they DO say Ain't instead of Aunt.
