No. 15 - Song - Edith - "Trust Me."
Edith: | When a man goes wooing, He's hard to understand; Takes so much construing, He's so underhand. While she's as good as ever Girl was meant to be, Still he trusts her never, Tho' she says, says she: "Trust me, just me, Now don't you think you can; I'll do nothing wrong, My love is strong, So you must trust me, just me; I'll frown on ev'ry man, If you just, and you must, Trust me." |
When she's once consented She will be his wife, Has he quite repented Of his wicked life? Oh! she would not deceive him, Still she wonders so: Can she quite believe him As he whispers low — "Trust me, just me, Now don't you think you can; I'll do nothing wrong, My love is strong, So you must trust me, just me; I'll be a model man, If you'll just, and you must, Trust me." |

Both will soon discover Neither one is true-- She has got a lover, He's got one or two. Well, make a fresh beginning, Vow to flirt no more, Give up all your sinning, Say, as once before — "Trust me, just me, Now don't you think you can; I'll do nothing wrong, My love is strong, So you must trust me, just me; I'll try a diff'rent plan, If you just, and you must, Trust me." |
