Hank Snow - Name Of The Game Was Love Lyrics

While lookin' through my jewelry drawer beneath some papers there I saw

An address book I'd kept throughout the years

It listed all the girls on it friends my list sure has grown

Each name brings back the laughter and the tears

There were girls that I'd romance with girls that I had dance with

Some whose face that I just can't recall

There were girls I kissed and lied to some I couldn't though I tried to

The name of the game was love and I played it with them all



There was Mary Martha Diana Eva Josie Hannah Anna Sally Beth and Rosie

Bonnie Connie Susan and Cindy you get Claudette Emma and Mindy

Janett Gina Ingrid or a Bessie Florance Fanny surely were fantasy

Francie Nora Alice even Dolly Gertie Gretchen Carmelita and Molly

Girls of every nation each one a new temptation

They were great I sure had a ball

They were girls that I had courted girls whose marriage plans I hoarded

The name of the game was love and I played it with them all



There was Betty Ann Carol and Yuanita Cora Dora Grace and Rosilita

Mory Margie Lisa Katie Dottie Lottie Lynn and a Sadie

Henrietta Mabel Jane and a Alice Daisy Maizie Mona and Cecilia

Lois Liza Laura and Leona Vida Vee Louisa and Ramona

Penny Janice Silvia Elmira Etta Gretta Louise or Mira

Merle and Perle and Leorial and Denise Doris Picta Julia and Amy

Frances Flora Dontie even Trudy Barbara Ethel Ellen is a beauty

Katie Camden and Athenalina Georgia Clara Alba and Ema

Iris Elise Dorothy and Hilda Olga Donna Lulu Bella Gilda

Eunice Phoebe Ida and a Eda and I loved them all

And I loved them all
