ONCE THERE LIVED A FOOL

Robinson

as rec by Anita O'Day w Ben Homer & his Orch 
Dec 27th 1950 New York


Once there lived a fool,
Many moons ago.
She was such a fool,
Ask me, I should know!

I still remember the way she would cry
Each time you said goodbye;
And walked in the rain,
Almost insane,
But please don't ask me why!

Once there lived a fool,
But, as wise men say,
Even fools in love,
They wake up one day!

There's no more sadness,
no tears in her eyes,
I'm so glad she's free.
Once there lived a fool,
That fool was me!

Once there lived a fool,
That fool was me!
That fool was me!
