Lyrics:
Embarrassment [Version (a)]:
I know a secret worth revealing
And yet I know not what to say
But ask me what this tender feeling
My fond reply would be alway
I love thee dearly, thee alone
I love but thee alone
I love thee dearly, thee alone
I love but thee alone
There is a song that I would sing thee
A song to touch thy tender heart
No other song that I could bring thee
Could half so well my love impart
I love thee dearly, thee alone
I love but thee alone
I love thee dearly, thee alone
I love but thee alone
Some little note I fain would send thee
To say 'Oh! would thou were mine own"
Alas! I would not dare offend thee
I'll live and love but alone
I love thee dearly, thee alone
I love but thee alone
I love thee dearly, thee alone
I love but thee alone
I know a secret worth revealing
And yet I know not what to say
But ask me what this tender feeling
My fond reply would be alway
I love thee dearly, thee alone
I love but thee alone
I love thee dearly, thee alone
I love but thee alone
There is a song that I would sing thee
A song to touch thy tender heart
No other song that I could bring thee
Could half so well my love impart
I love thee dearly, thee alone
I love but thee alone
I love thee dearly, thee alone
I love but thee alone
Some little note I fain would send thee
To say 'Oh! would thou were mine own"
Alas! I would not dare offend thee
I'll live and love but alone
I love thee dearly, thee alone
I love but thee alone
I love thee dearly, thee alone
I love but thee alone
The Song:
This is a song from the Male Quartette Collection, the greatest book ever compiled.
Like most of the song titles on the back of Saint Dude, this is likely a reference to an older song/sheet music. There seems to be a few with related titles to 'embarassment' but the famous one seems to be this one by Franz Abt in 1874.
