"Cecilia"
(Sung by Roaring Abel with Barney and Valancy as backup singers)

ROARING ABEL

Oh, Cecilia,
You've broken your heart.
You're coughing your life away daily.
Oh, Cecilia,
I'm down on my knees;
I'm begging you please to get well,
To get well.

After the death of my young wife
I had Cecilia to raise for life.

BARNEY AND VALANCY

Raise for life...

ROARING ABEL

But I was a neglectful dad—
My little girl was seduced by a cad.

Oh, Cecilia,
You've broken your heart.
You're coughing your life away daily.
Oh, Cecilia,
I'm down on my knees;
I'm begging you please to get well,
To get well.

Reputations
Who cares about them?
I love my little girl still.
Reputations
Who cares about them?
I love my little girl still.

ALL THREE

Oh, Cecilia,
You've broken your heart.
You're coughing your life away daily.
Oh, Cecilia,
I'm down on my knees;
I'm begging you please to get well,
To get well.
