Where's the queen    of my parade?

The only thing   she left me is

This appleblossom rag

Oh, the appleblossom rag

That cause such awful pain

This new girl's the girl for me
Best girl that I know.
Never asks me where I've been

I love the way she lies.
A false young painted devil
But, I know so it's alright

for things that sing so sweet and sad
And are so goddamn cruel
