In Hamburg I Loved a Strange Girl
In Hamburg I loved
A strange girl,
She put my whole being
In a whirl,
She spurned everybody
But me,
I made her happy,
In Hamburg.
But if she had
Spurned me,
I'd have looked her in the eye,
And run away,
And in my room,
I would have cried,
I might even have died,
In Hamburg.
(Very faithfully based on a song written aged ca. 18).
