THE STRANGE LITTLE GIRL
(J. Ross - R. Adler)
TENNESSEE ERNIE FORD (CAPITOL 1470, 1951)

One, two, three, one...

[Chorus]
Now, I don't know who she was
And I don't know where she came from
I only know there was an angel glow
In the eyes of the strange little girl

My sweetheart and I had a quarrel
I was troubled as a body can get
So, I put on my coat and walked out into the night
When a strange little girl I met

[Chorus]

She told me she knew of our quarrels
And I listened as she softly spoke on
She said, true love is rare
So don't lose the love you share
And before I could speak, she was gone

[Chorus]

Ran back to the home of my sweetheart
And I told her of the girl I did see
She said, darling I prayed you'd forgive me and return
For the same little girl came to me

Now, I don't know who she was
And I don't know where she came from
I only know there was an angel glow
In the eyes of the strange little girl
I only know there was an angel glow
In the eyes of the strange little girl
