Beatrice got a phonograph
And it won't say a lonesome word
Beatrice got a phonograph
And it won't say a lonesome word
What evil have I done?
What evil has the poor girl heard?
Beatrice, I love my phonograph
But you broke my windin' chain
Beatrice, I love my phonograph
But you have broke my windin' chain
And you taken my lovin'
And give it to your other man
And we played it on the sofa and
We played it side the wall
My needles have got rusty
And it will not play at all
We played it on the sofa
And we played it side the wall
But my needles have got rusty
And it will not play at all
Beatrice, I go crazy
Baby, I will lose my mind
And I go crazy
Honey, I will lose my mind
Whyn't you bring your clothes back home
And try me one more time
She got a phonograph
And it won't say a lonesome word
She got a phonograph
Ooh, won't say a lonesome word
What evil have I done
Or what evil have the poor girl heard?
