He was such a handsome sailor How he toss the old lagoon He told her that he loved her And a thousand others too
And then he bought a diamond And some expensive purse But at last and a lack like a stab in the back She found it wasn't hers
And her tears flowed like wine Yes, her tears flowed like wine She's a real sad tomato She's a busted Valentine Knows her mama done told her That her man is darned unkind!
But then the guy got guilted And her hopes are rose once more So she went to beauty pilers And took facials by the score
And when he came to see her She smiled the evening through Till he said "Girlfriend, get your money back Cravel girdy is a name for you!"
And her tears flowed like wine Yes, her tears flowed like wine She's a real sad tomato She's a busted Valentine Knows her mama done told her That her man is darned unkind!
She caught him in a restaurant About to order when She said come home to dinner Don't you want some beans again
There ain't clicking with the navy The sailor said sageeve So then she laid her pistol down Have to let the guy go free
And her tears flowed like wine Yes, her tears flowed like wine She's a real sad tomato She's a busted Valentine Knows her mama done told her That her man is darned unkind!
She's a real sad tomato And her tears flowed like wine
