Translation
Bilingual
He was such a handsome sailor
How he tossed the old Magoo
He told her that he loved her
And a thousand others too
And then he bought a diamond
And some expensive furs
But alas and alack, like a stab in the back
She found they 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 a man is darn unkind
But then the guy got jilted
And her hopes arose once more
So she went to beauty parlors
And took facials by the score
And when he came to see her
She smiled the evening through
'Til he said, "Girlfriend, get your money back
Gravel Gertie is the 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 a man is darn unkind
ย
She caught him in a restaurant
About to order when
She said, "Come home to dinner
Don't you want some beans again?"
"That ain't clickin' with the Navy"
The sailor sad, said he
So then she lay her pistol down
Had 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 a man is darn unkind
She's a real sad tomato
And her tears flow like wine
