Lyrics
(Mrs. Maurrant)
I tried to be a good wife to him,
But he never seemed to care.
I tried to be a good mother, too, Rose,
But he never seemed to care.

Sometimes I think it would be better
If I was dead.
If you have nobody who understands.
(Rose)
If there was something I could do!

Mrs. M. You might just as well be
Rose Oh Ma, oh

Dead, Rose
Ma, don’t say that to me,

You might just as well be dead.
Ma,

Rose If there was only something
I could do!
