VERSE 01: You ask me why I’m sad at heart,/You never hear me laugh,/You ask me why my tears they fall, upon her photograph,/She was the belle of ev’ry ball,/All beauty and all grace,/Would you believe she could deceive,/With such an angel face?
VERSE 02: I’ll ne’er forget the ball that night,/My sweetheart was divine,/And as I kissed her dear sweet lips, she promised to be mine,/And then she danced with brother Ned,/Her eyes with love alight,/I heard her say “I love you best”/Which broke my heart that night.
CHORUS: Belle of the ball,/She was sweeter than all,/With a face as fair and nut brown hair,/The best of them all,/Hearts they did ache,/All for her sake,/How I loved her, love her still./The Belle of the ball./Ball.
