[Sung by The Tramp]

[Verse 1]
Once under a scarlet sky
I told you neverending lies
But they were the words of a drunken vagabond
Who knew very well he would break your heart before long
Oh, forgive me Genevieve

[Chorus]
Now I've come back to see Sweet Lady Genevieve
This time I'll give you some security
And I will make promises I can keep
So will you come back to me, Sweet Lady Genevieve?

[Bridge]
Let me rock you, hold you
Take you in my arms
Oh, forgive me, please
Smile away all your sadness, and put your trust in me

[Chorus]
Oh, if you come back to me, Sweet Lady Genevieve
I'm not the impetuous fool that you used to know
I know that I used you and I hurt you so
But that was so long ago, Sweet Lady Genevieve

[Bridge]
Oh, love me
Take me in your arms
Let me rock you, hold you
Smile away all your sadness, put your trust in me

[Verse 2]
Once under a starry sky
I led you on and told you lies
Drank too much whiskey on that hot summer night
I acted so slyly 'cause you were acting so shy
Oh, forgive me, Genevieve

[Chorus]
If you come back to me, Sweet Lady Genevieve
You're not the child who smiled so innocently
And I'm not the rogue that I used to be
So will you come back to me, Sweet Lady Genevieve?

[Outro]
Oh, Genevieve
Oh, Genevieve
