Carl Halling Poet Lyric

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).
