Transcription
When I was courting Lena I used to have such fun
Oh my you should have seen, so handsome there was none
But oh she had a father that treated me quite sore
He used to hide away from him behind the parlor door
Behind the parlor door, behind the parlor door
I used to kiss my Lena until she cried for more
But oh she had a father that treated me quite sore
I used hide away from him behind the parlor door
We used to meet each evening, twas business we both meant
Her father he got tired so he gave his consent
We had a brilliant wedding, a hundred guests or more
The minister he married us behind the parlor door
Behind the parlor door, behind the parlor door
I used to kiss my Lena until she cried for more
But oh she had a father that treated me quite sore
I used to hide away from away from him behind the parlor door
