Harry Belafonte Lyrics of the Gloria track

Lyrics:



Can't bear this strain any longer, I tell you no, Gloria

Can't bear this strain any longer, I tell you no, Gloria

You promised to marry me in the month of May

Now you try to run away, if it's the last thing I have to do

Gloria my darling I'm begging you

Please marry me Gloria, darling can't you see Gloria

With all your faults, I want you like a long dose of Epsom salts



I'd like to be a bachelor,

Before I met Gloria

I don't know what she did to me

Some people think I'm crazy

Some say it's the treatment, some say it's this and that

Some say she's a diplomat, I don't care what the case may be

Come darling let's join in matrimony

So please marry me Gloria, darling can't you see Gloria

My belly does boil, I want you like a bad dose of castor oil



You said you loved me but you lied,

My friend saw you with another guy

And now you have me in a state

With all the doubts you create

Soon as I turned my back you were on the go

Gloria girl I tell you no, and I beg you not to forget

A promise to me is more than a debt

So please marry me Gloria, sweetheart can't you see Gloria

You must understand, I want you like a cop wants a wanted man



Gloria is my only girl

My only hope in this world

Give me your hand and say you do

Come back to me I'm telling you

I want you to have and hold until death we part

Please don't try to break my heart

I say stop all this stupidness darling and seal it now with a kiss

Please marry me Gloria, darling can't you see Gloria

You lovely flower bud, I love you like a pig loves a pool of mud
