Lew Stone & His Band
I knew a girl, Sweet Genevieve
A long, long time ago
The belle of the ball was Genevieve
They all loved Genevieve so
I never believed, Sweet Genevieve
Would ever look my way
And when she agreed to dance with me
It was my luckiest day
We danced hand in hand
And the music was grand
Until I stepped on her shoe
She went white
But to my surprise
She just lifted her eye
And said "That's quite alright"
I'd never deceive my Genevieve
Though years my come and go
And I'll never leave sweet Genevieve
Because I love her so
I'd never deceive my Genevieve
Though years my come and go
And I'll never leave sweet Genevieve
Because I love her so
