Emily Songtext
von Sam Manning

Oh Emily, you′ve wrecked my life by matrimony
Oh Emily, you've wrecked my life by matrimony
You camouflaged me to get the ring
Now you′re back in the same old thing
Oh what a sin, I should marry Gwendolyn
Oh Emily, you've wrecked my life in matrimony

Oh Emily, I've learned sense by matrimony
You camouflaged me to get the ring
Now you′re back in the same old thing
Oh what a shame, I should marry Gwendolyn

Gwendolyn a good Bajan girl from Black Rock down by the sea
Gwendolyn was no aristocrat but she was good to me
Why she never didn′t make a fuss
But she was a girl that I could trust
Oh what a shame, I should marry Gwendolyn


You promised me all through life to be a good and faithful wife
But you have broken your vow, now in shame I've got to bow
Yes you committed adultery
Tell me what will the future be
Oh what a shame, I should marry Gwendolyn

Oh Emily, I′ve learned sense by matrimony
Oh Emily, I've learned sense by matrimony
Yes you hoodooed me to get the ring
Now you′re back in the same old thing
Oh what a sin, I should marry Gwendolyn

Now look Emily you pack your things and go
Yes baby that's the door
I want you to go
I don′t want never to see you no more
Yes you've broken my heart
If you had loved me like a sweet mama should
Well then you'd find me mighty good
But then you need not to cry
Say goodbye I don′t want you no more
