Oh Helen
Composer(s): Chas. R. McCarron; Carey Morgan
Performer(s): Ian Whitcomb



Willie Meek tho' good at grammar
When he'd speak he'd always stammer
And when he tried, He'd be mortified

He'd call on a girl named Helen, most ev'ry day
He'd start sighin' like a dyin' calf
and then he'd say

Oh H-H-Hel- Oh H-H-Hel- Oh Helen please be mine
Your f-f-feat- your f-f-feat- your features are divine
I s-s-swear I s-s-swear I swear I will be true
Oh D-D-Dam- Oh D-D-Dam- Oh Damsel I love you

Helen's daddy knocked him silly
Ripping mad he went for Willie
Thought him profane, nearly went insane
But when Willie Meek explained it
It was all right

Now her father doesn't bother, when he says each night
You s-s-simp- you s-s-simp- you simply are divine
You m-m-mud- you m-m-mud- you muddle me it's true

Oh H-H-Hel- Oh H-H-Hel- Oh Helen please be mine
Your f-f-feat- your f-f-feat- your features are divine
I s-s-swear I s-s-swear I swear I will be true
Oh D-D-Dam- Oh D-D-Dam- Oh Damsel I love you
