The Name Of The Game Was Love
Hank Snow Written by Cy Coben Recorded by Hank Snow While looking through my jewelry drawer Beneath some paper, there I saw An address book I'd kept throughout the years It listed all the girls on it Friends, my list sure has grown Each name brings back the laughter and the tears There were girls that I'd romance with Girls that I had dance with Some whose face that I just can't recall There were girls I kissed and lied to Some I couldn't, and though I tried to The name of the game was love And I played it with them all There was Mary, Martha, Diana, Eva, Josie Hannah, Anna, Sally, Beth and Rosie Bonnie, Connie, Susan and Cindy You get Claudette, Emma and a Minsy Janet, Gina, Ingrid or a Bessie Florance, Fanny, surely gonna test us Francie, Nora, Alice, even Dolly Gertie, Gretchen, Carmelita and Molly Girls of every nation, each one a new temptation They were great, I sure had a ball They are girls that I had courted Girls whose marriage plans I hoarded The name of the game was love And I played it with them all There was Betty, Ann, Carol and Yuanita Cora, Dora, Grace and Rosilita Mory, Margie, Lisa, Katie Dottie, Lottie, Lynn and a Sadie Henrietta, Mabel, Jane and a Alice Daisy, Maizie, Mona and Cecilia Lois, Liza, Laura and Leona Vida, Vee, Louisa and Ramona Penny, Janice, Silvia, Elmira Etta, Gretta, Louise or Mira Merle and Perle, and Leorial and Denise Doris, Picta, Julia and Amy Frances, Flora, Dontie, even Trudy Barbara, Ethel, Ellen is a beauty Katie, Camden and Athenalina Iris, Elise, Dorothy and Hilda Georgia, Clara, Alba and Ema Olga, Donna, Lulu, Bella, Gilda Eunice, Phoebe, Ida and a Eda And I loved them all And I loved them all |
