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
