Lyrics:

Beatrice, she got a phonograph
and it won't say a lonesome word

Beatrice, she got a phonograph
but it won't say a lonesome word
What evil have I done
what evil has the poor girl heard
Beatrice, I love my phonograph
but you have broke my windin' chain

Beatrice, I love my phonohra'-ooo
honey, you have broke my windin' chain

And you've taken my lovin'
and give it to your other man

Now, we played it on the sofa, now
we played it 'side the wall
My needles have got rusty, baby
they will not play at all
We played it on the sofa
we played it 'side the wall

But my needles have got rusty
and it will not play at all

Beatrice, I go crazy
baby, I will lose my mind

And I go cra'-ee
honey, I will lose my mind
Why'nt you bring your clothes back home
and try me one more time

She got a phonograph
and it won't say a lonesome word

She got a phonograph
oo-won't say a lonesome word

What evil have I done
Or what evil have the poor girl heard
