Poor Butterfly

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a story told of a little Japanese Sitting demurely 'neath the cherry blossom trees Miss Butterfly's her name A sweet little innocent child was she 'Til a fine young American from the sea To her garden came They met 'neath the cherry blossoms every day And he taught her to love the American way To love with her soul, 'twas easy to learn Then he sailed away with a promisе to return [Verse 2] Poor butterfly 'Neath thе blossoms waiting Poor butterfly For she loved him so The moments pass into hours The hours pass into years And as she smiles through her tears She murmurs low "The moon and I know that he'll be faithful" I'm sure he'll come to her by and by But if he don't come back then she'll never sigh or cry She just must die Poor butterfly [Outro] Poor butterfly Poor butterfly
