Once I had a babe She was my sweetest little valentine Once I had a babe She was the only one I couldn't go without But she never had a heart She was a butterfly She just told me not no cry Once I had a woman And now she is flying from cloud to cloud Once I had a woman But now my heart is empty day and night But she never had a heart She was a butterfly She just told me not no cry Please don't cry! And once I had a lady That I'd give love for the rest of my life Once I had my own heart I'd give love for the rest of my days But she never had a heart She was a butterfly She just told me not no cry Please don't cry...
