Marian Brown St. Onge
Sappho Sings the Blues
Where’ve the girls of summer gone? — Gone to husbands every one. Where’ve the girls of summer gone? — No longer with me. Where’ve they gone, my rolling stones? — Every one a wife at home. Where’ve they gone, my rolling stones? — No longer with me. Seems my hopes and dreams have flown — Gone like lovers every one. Girls of summer, rolling stones — No longer with me.
