[00:00.203]She Was Poor but Honest - Billy Bennett
[00:01.258]Lyrics by：Lee Bert/Weston R P
[00:02.299]Composed by：Lee Bert/Weston R P
[00:03.522]She was poor but she was honest
[00:07.312]Though she came from 'umble stock
[00:10.921]And her honest heart was beating
[00:14.520]Underneath her tattered frock
[00:19.875]But the rich man saw her beauty
[00:23.487]She knew not his base design
[00:26.984]And he took her to a hotel
[00:30.536]And bought her a small port wine
[00:34.311]It's the same the whole world over
[00:37.992]It's the poor what gets the blame
[00:41.567]It's the rich what gets the pleasure
[00:45.184]Isn't it a blooming shame
[00:50.632]In the rich man's arms she fluttered
[00:54.159]Like a bird with a broken wing
[00:57.807]But he loved her and he left her
[01:01.439]Now she hasn't got no ring
[01:06.904]Time has flown-outcast and homeless
[01:10.647]In the street she stands and says
[01:14.264]While the snowflakes fall around her
[01:17.879]Won't you buy my bootlaces
[01:21.559]It's the same the whole world over
[01:25.200]It's the poor what gets the blame
[01:28.720]It's the rich what gets the pleasure
[01:32.263]Isn't it a blooming shame
[01:37.815]Standing on the bridge at midnight
[01:41.473]She says farewell blighted love
[01:45.065]There's a scream a splash good 'eavens
[01:48.554]What is she a doing of
[01:54.010]Soon they dragged her from the river
[01:57.778]Water from her clothes they wrang
[02:01.274]They all thought that she was drownded
[02:04.817]But the corpse got up and sang
[02:08.553]It's the same the whole world over
[02:12.304]It's the poor what gets the blame
[02:15.847]It's the rich what gets the pleasure
[02:19.296]Isn't it a blooming shame
