Funny That Way- Ruth Etting Remembering her husband, too- Myrl Alderman 1906-1966 1947 The Rudee Valley Variety Program, NBC net Benny Krueger and his Orchestra Lyrics Once I dressed in silks and lace Owned a Rolls Royce, too Had a gorgeous country place And diamonds, quite a few Now around the kitchen sink Happy as can be I'm in love and love to think That he's in love with me He's not much to look at And nothing to see Why, he's just as plain And poor as can be Why do I love him? Hmm, I don't know I'm funny that way Had chances of being Some rich man's wife Live in a mansion The rest of my life Why do I go through Hardship and strife? Why, I'm funny that way When he sees me slaving Just to keep up our home He says I'd be better off To leave him alone But why should I leave him? Why should I go? He'd be unhappy Without me, I know Cause he's just my man And I love him so I'm funny that way Remastered by Raena Star 2023 for Remembering Ruth Etting 1897-1978 I am not doing these videos for monetary gain, I do not claim any copywrite, and only wish to preserve Ruth's memory.
