I took you down to a river side

With a picnic basket and a box of wine

You said  "My love  this ain't no fun
Treat me like a lady  not a simpleton "

Well I tried  I tried

To keep you satisfied

Give my heart  but you don't seem to care

Some day you may find

A rich man who will buy

A golden comb to tame your wild hair

Went to town

And I thought we might

Have a quiet stroll under street lights

You said  "My love  this ain't no good
You're as romantic as a knot on wood "

Well I tried  and I tried
To keep you satisfied
Give my heart  but you don't seem to care

Some day you may find
A rich man who will buy

A golden comb to tame your wild hair

Keep your ribbons tied

Straighten up your bows

Keep your head held high

Powder on your nose

Well I tried  and I tried

To keep you satisfied

Give my heart  but you don't seem to care

Some day you may find

A rich man who will buy

A golden comb to tame your wild hair

A golden comb to tame your wild hair
