Jack and May were newly wed a loving pair were they[00:00:00]
Until the other day when Jack said to his May:[00:00:23]
Tonight I have to talk some bus'ness with some bus'nessmen[00:00:35]
But rest assured that I'll return at ten[00:01:00]
That night he left the flat and simple wifey sat[00:01:01]
Up with the cat for Jack who never came[00:01:02]
The day was dawning when he rambled home again[00:01:03]
I heard the clock strike[00:01:06]
One A M[00:01:08]
One A M[00:01:09]
One A M[00:01:09]
It told me of my promise when I left you in the hall[00:01:10]
Before I knew 'twas[00:01:12]
Two A M[00:01:13]
Three A M[00:01:14]
Four A M[00:01:14]
But you know I promised to be home at ten[00:01:15]
So I didn't go home at all[00:01:19]
Jack remarked It's eas'ly seen that I'm not all to blame[00:01:20]
My explanation's tame it's true tho' just the same[00:01:22]
Much rather than disturb you from your slumber so divine[00:01:24]
I lingered just to pass away the time[00:01:30]
And then again you see I didn't take the key[00:01:31]
Which proves that my intentions were the best[00:01:34]
I even said a pray'r that you might not despair[00:01:35]
Besides I knew how much you needed rest:[00:01:38]
Jack had been forgiven and the future seemed so bright[00:01:40]
Until the other night his May was not in sight[00:01:44]
She went to see a sick friend but had promised to come back[00:01:49]
At sixty minutes after nine to Jack[00:01:54]
At sixty minutes past next morn she came at last[00:02:40]
Her op'ning speech was I've been with my friend[00:02:42]
Because they said she'd die I wanted to be nigh[00:02:43]
And so I waited for the coming end[00:02:45]
