| | | Artist: | Irving Berlin |
| | Album: | Miscellaneous | | Track: | Innocent Bessie Brown 5 Oct 1910 | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 5 | | | | Lyrics: | 1st verse:]
Innocent Bessie landed in the city
From Kankakee the sights to
see
Fellows looked at her saying what a pity
She's from the farm meaning no
harm
Ev'ry maiden, ev'ry gent
When discussing she
Said she must be
innocent
'Cause she came from Kankakee
[chorus:]
Innocent Bessie
Brown
Wanted to see the town
Met upon the Avenue one afternoon fair
A fellow who
said, "'Aven't you an hour to spare?"
So pretty
Innocent Bessie Brown
Went for an
hour in town
And when the day was breaking they were still partaking
Of some fizzes of gin
that fizzed within
Innocent Bessie Brown
[2nd verse:]
Bessie was stopping with
her second cousin
Who was a beaut, cunning and cute
Fellows would call upon her by the
dozen
Innocent Bess never could guess
Where her cousin got such toys
Diamonds more or
less
'Twasn't long before the boys
Made a jew'lry store out of Bess
[2nd
chorus:]
Innocent Bessie Brown
Dressed in a country gown
Bessie Brown was lonesome
for a diamond or two
But since she met the city she could loan some to you
And she
was
Innocent Bessie Brown
Lived in a country town
When Missus Morgan chubby, missed
her darling hubby
She began talking war while hunting for
Innocent Bessie Brown | | | |
