These digital collections have been created from historical documents that reflect the sensibilities of creators in historical times and may contain opinions, language, images, or other content that modern readers may find offensive. The Lear Center and Connecticut College do not endorse the attitudes expressed therein. The Lear Center presents these documents as part of the historical record and recognizes the imperative not to alter it. In some cases, it may be possible to add notes or comments correcting verified errors, but these exceptions will not be applied in a way that changes the appearance of the authentic record.


Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I’m so blue I don’t know what to do
All day though I’m pinning just for you
I did wrong when I let you go away
For now I grieve about you night and day
I’m unhappy and dissatisfied
But i’d be happy if I had you by my side

[Verse 2]
All dressed up but still no where to go
How I wish that I could see a show
Here I wait with no one to call me Dear
The one I love is many miles from here
Central give me One Two Three Four J
Oh won’t you listen little sweetie while I say

[Chorus]
If I could be with you I’d love you strong
If I could be with you I’d love you long
I want you to know I wouldn’t go
Until I told you honey why I love you so
If I could be with you one hour tonight
If I was free to do the things
I might I’m telling you true I’d be anything but blue
If I could be you
