[1st verse:] Kindly stop that music from playing, "Oh Promise Me" Because it makes me sad, so sad It brings back to my memory Years and years of misery Thoughts of one who promised me A love I thought I had [Refrain:] He promised me that someday he would marry me He promised me a beautiful home One down by the sea He promised that he'd pay For the wedding day On the first of May Then he moved away, and all he left Were the promises he promised me [2nd verse:] Sealskins, autos, dresses and diamonds he promised me And told me that someday he'd pay My ringless fingers know he's gone All my rings he put in pawn Even took the tickets on The day he moved away
