[1st verse:] You know how you feel when your rich Uncle dies And leaves you a lot and a house? Well, that's how I felt when I first met Miss Lena Sweet little neat Lena Kraus I just hate to think how she came in my life Like a landlord what comes for the rent The rent was my heart when she took it apart Just how she came she went [1st refrain:] Oh, when I think of my Lena My face turns so white just like starch The hand organs play pretty love songs all day But to me it's just plain fun'ral march It's bad to be sad, to be glad when you're sad Can't be did as you all must agree If you feel like I feel and you hear my appeal Oh! bring back my Lena to me [2nd verse:] I cry when I think what a woman she was What cost dollars she bought for a cent When she broke a glass why it wouldn't be broke Ach! no, it would only be bent To cry over milk that's been spilt isn't good SongtexteBut the feeling that I'm feeling now It wasn't just one glass of milk that I spilt When Lena went, then went the cow [2nd refrain:] Oh, when I think of my Lena I think of a girl who could cook Some sweet sauerkraut that would swim in your mouth Like the fishes that swim in the brook When I think of a meal that was real I just feel Like a ship with no sail on the sea There's no tears in my eyes, but my appetite cries Oh! bring back my Lena to me Aus Songtexte Mania
