Composer(s): Gene de Paul - Johnny Mercer

Daisy Mae:
I wish it could be otherwise
Otherwise I’m sorry we met at all
I’m sorry we ever had to start with
Those wonderful dreams
You broke my heart with
I wish there was some other way
Like it is, our backs is against the wall
Just seems
 
Daisy Mae and Li’l Abner:
That fate put this heart of mine
Under some ancient sign
Or otherwise you’d still be mine
All mine
Or otherwise you’d still be mine
