I Was True

(J.R.Robinson / Kate Smith)

Ray Noble & his New Mayfair Dance Orchestra

I Was True
True to you
And I thought
You were too
I Was True
True to you
That's why I'm blue
That's why I'm Blue

I was yours
Good and strong
I was yours
Right or wrong
I was true
True to you
That's why I'm blue
That's why I'm Blue

Now i'm greaved because I believed
That you were on the level
Angel eyes, the eyes that I prized
Were the eyes of the devil

In my heart
Though I'll sigh
When we part
I won't cry
I was true
True to you
That's why I'm blue
That's why I'm Blue

I was true
Oh, how true
Love like you
That's why I'm blue

I was yours
You were at fault
Now I'm through
That's why I'm blue
