[00:00.00]Poor Butterfly (Album Version) - Susannah McCorkle
[00:11.39]There's a story told of a little Japanese
[00:17.82]Sitting demurely neath the cherry blossom trees
[00:23.80]Miss Butterfly's her name
[00:30.69]A sweet little innocent child was she
[00:36.24]'Till a fine young American from the sea
[00:41.15]To her garden came
[00:46.19]They met neath the cherry blossoms everyday
[00:50.70]And he taught her how to love the American way
[00:55.50]To love with her soul twas easy to learn
[01:04.63]Then he sailed away with a promise to return
[01:21.36]Poor butterfly
[01:33.57]Neath the blossoms waiting
[01:43.65]Poor Butterfly
[01:53.14]For she loved him so
[02:03.68]The moments pass into hours
[02:14.82]The hours pass into years
[02:23.19]And as she smiles through her tears
[02:31.99]She murmurs low
[02:39.87]The moon and I know that he is faithful
[03:01.29]I'm sure he'll come to me by and by
[03:20.68]But if he don't come back
[03:27.55]I want to ever sigh or cry
[03:39.17]I just must die
[03:48.41]Poor butterfly
[04:01.52]Want you tell my love
[04:04.53]Said the little Japanese
[04:07.96]Tell him I'm waiting neath the cherry blossom trees
[04:13.09]My seller man to see
[04:18.61]The beans I'm humming brie
[04:21.23]Say they guess
[04:24.38]Everyday that passes makes one day last 'till
[04:28.58]He comes to me
[04:32.99]For once  butterfly gives her heart away
[04:38.26]She can't never love again
[04:40.78]She is forever for all love this world
[04:50.55]Through ages to come
[04:55.35]So her face just smiles
[05:02.15]And all her heart is growing up
[05:12.67]The moon and I know that he is faithful
[05:36.24]We're sure he'll come to me by and by
[05:55.89]But if he don't come back
[06:03.22]I'll want ever sigh or cry
[06:15.55]I just must die
[06:27.05]Poor butterfly
