Classic Poem

(with Leo Robin)

VERSE

Down in the pool room
Some of the gang were talkin' of gals they knew.
" Women are all the same, " said Joe.
One dizzy bird said, " Pal, ain't you heard
The story of True Blue Lou?
Listen and get an earful, Bo. "

REFRAIN

Say, she was a dame in love with a guy,
She stuck to him but didn't know why.
Ev'ryone blamed her,
Still they all named her
True Blue Lou.
He gave her nothing, she gave him all.
But when he had his back to the wall,
Who fought to save him,
Smiled and forgave him?
True Blue Lou.
He got a break and went away
To get a new start.
But, poor kid, she never got a break,
Except the one way down in her heart.
Maybe somewhere in heaven above
There's a reward for that kind of love.
Angels won't blame her,
They too will name her
True Blue Lou.
