"Funny When You Feel That Way" lyrics - THE CARTER FAMILY

I can't forget how queer I felt
Since first I fell in love
I had a most sincere attack
From squeezing a lady's glove

Her lovely hand was in it
As we waltzed around so gay
I thought myself in paradise
It's funny when you feel that way

It's funny when you feel that way
It's funny when you feel that way
I thought myself in paradise
It's funny when you feel that way

[Instrumental break]

Again we met one afternoon
As we were all alone
I plucked up nerve to ask
If she would someday be my own

She blushed and said, we'll ask papa
And ask him if I may
I danced a canter 'round the room
It's funny when you feel that way

It's funny when you feel that way
It's funny when you feel that way
I danced a canter 'round the room
It's funny when you feel that way

[Instrumental break]

The old boy said that we might wed
And so he crowned my bliss
And I shall be a double man
In about a month from this

It seemed to me somehow the time
Would never pass away
I long to hear those wedding bells
It's funny when you feel that way

It's funny when you feel that way
It's funny when you feel that way
I long to hear those wedding bells
It's funny when you feel that way
