Lyrics
It's love, it's love alone
That caused King Edward to leave the throne
(It's love, love alone
That caused King Edward to leave the throne)
We know Edward is noble and great
But love caused him to abdicate
(It's love, love alone
That caused King Edward to leave the throne)
Oh, what a sad disappointment
Was endured by the British government
(It's love, love alone
That caused King Edward to leave the throne)
On the tenth of December we heard the talk
That he gave the throne to the Duke of York
(It's love, love alone
That caused King Edward to leave the throne)
I'm sorry my mother is going to grieve
But I cannot help I'm bound to leave
(It's love, love alone
That caused King Edward to leave the throne)
Paul Baldwin tried to break down his plan
He said, "Come what may, the American"
(It's love, love alone
That caused King Edward to leave the throne)
We got the money, we got the talk
And the fancy walk just to suit New York
(It's love, love alone
That caused King Edward to leave the throne)
And if I can't get a boat to set me free
Well, I'll walk to Miss Simpson across the sea
(It's love, love alone
That caused King Edward to leave the throne)
He said, "My robes and my crown is not on my mind
But I cannot leave Miss Simpson behind"
(It's love, love alone
That caused King Edward to leave the throne)
They could take my throne, they could take my crown
But leave me and Miss Simpson renowned
(It's love, love alone
That caused King Edward to leave the throne)
If you see Miss Simpson walk in the street
She could fall an angel with the body beat
(It's love, love alone
That caused King Edward to leave the throne)
Let the organ roll, let the church bell ring
Good luck to a certain bachelor king
(It's love, it's love alone
That caused
King Edward to leave the throne)
Now on the annals of history
He has left a record for eternity
(It's love, love alone
That caused King Edward to leave the throne)
