So, over my shoulder goes one care
Over my shoulder go two cares
Why should I cry, it's blue above
I'm free at last and I'm in love
Over my shoulder go three cares
Over my shoulder go four cares
Bye bye to trouble, it's gone beyond recall
Over my shoulder goes it all.

(Musical Break)

So, Over my shoulder goes one care
Over my shoulder go two cares

(Short Musical Break)

Over my shoulder goes one care, two cares
Three cares, four cares,
Over my shoulder goes it all.

As recorded by Jessie Matthews.

I've been a prisoner locked in a jail
Love held the only key
Love heard me crying locked in a jail
Came to the help of me
Oh what a glorious feeling
To be free, really free

For over my shoulder goes one care
And over my shoulder go two cares
Why should I cry, it's blue above
I'm free at last, and I'm in love
Over my shoulder go three cares
And over my shoulder go four cares
Bye, bye to trouble, it's gone beyond recall
For over my shoulder goes it all.

(Musical Break)

Over my shoulder go three cares
And over my shoulder go four cares
Bye, bye to trouble, it's gone beyond recall
For over my shoulder goes it all.
