BLOSSOMS ON THE BOUGH, THE
Sigman / Gallop)

as recorded by The Andrews Sisters
with The Lee Gordon Singers
& Vic Schoen & his Orchestra
November 1st 1949


Oh blossoms, blossoms on the bough,
They have their mem'ries now.
Oh pretty blossoms on the bough,
They met, but tell us how.

They met in the Spring under blossoming trees,
A song of romance seemed to dance on the breeze,
And who saw him kiss her and whisper a vow?
The blossoms, pretty blossoms on the bough!

He left her a dream and a tear in her eye,
A kiss on her lips to remember him by,
And who said forget him, but didn't say how?
The blossoms, pretty blossoms on the bough!

For sometimes words may be spoken
That later prove untrue,
And sometimes a promise is broken,
As hearts are broken too.

A year has gone by and it's Springtime again;
She waits all alone and she sighs now and then,
And who knows her story and weeps with her now?
The blossoms, pretty blossoms on the bough!

For sometimes words may be spoken
That later prove untrue,
And sometimes a promise is broken,
As hearts are broken too.

A year has gone by and it's Springtime again;
She waits all alone and she sighs now and then,
And who knows her story and weeps with her now?
The blossoms, pretty blossoms on the bough,
Pretty blossoms on the bough!
(pretty blossoms on the bough)
