The Summer Ball
A single shadow behind me As the summer sun does blind me
But keep shining Keep on shining
Don't let the night fall
For I have no girl No friend to call
That I can take to the summer ball I'm way out of luck
And straight out of love I've no girl for the summer ball
Do I have to ask the blessing of husbands that aren't dancing
For all will see and talk of me as the man with no partner
For I can't get it right tonight of all nights On the door there are couples only
And I'm so lonely somebody call me I've no girl for the summer ball
For seven years I loved my best friend She left for Scotland has started again
For seven years we came to the ball She held me high and then let me fall
Like the table where we always sat I won't be laid or worried about
And the band that plays the blues is playing our song
For a girl is the ticket and without it you miss it
The much talked about summer ball One large marquee but no one with me
I've no girl for the summer ball I've no girl for the summer ball
I've no girl for the summer ball
