Chrysanthemum

from Miss Melanie Regrets by The Vermeers

/

lyrics

Went to a party
Just the other night
Of all of the girls there
The prettiest one in sight
Was a girl they called Chrysanthemum
Yes, a girl they called Chrysanthemum

Well, all I said to her was hey
All she said to me was hi
Don't know if it was her sweet smile
Or the twinkle in her eye
But I fell in love with Chrysanthemum
Yes, I fell in love with Chrysanthemum

But then in walked a man
They called him Calvin Poole
They say that he played the guitar
And that the girls all think he's cool
But he stole away my Chrysanthemum
Yes, he stole away my Chrysanthemum

Well, I lived out my days
All sad and alone
Wanderin' 'round from town to town
Without a place to call my own
Oh, how I miss my Chrysanthemum
Maybe I'll go to Saskatchewan
