American Old Time Song Lyrics: 34 You Will Find Out Your Mistake

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 34

You Will Find Out Your Mistake.
Written and Sung by Johnnie Moore, the Humorist.

Now if you expect to hear something nice,
Why you will find out your mistake;
Something fresh and just off the ice.
Why you will find out your mistake,
For I really don't know any thing new,
As all will find out before I am through;
It's the same gag again, wherever you go-
It is without any mistake.

If a man gets married, expects to have his own way-
Oh, but he will find out his mistake;
If he thinks he won't do what his wife to him will say-
Oh, but he will find out his mistake;
For when she accepts him for better or worst!.
She accepts his heart and hand, his pocket and purse;
If he has an idea the children he won't have to nurse-
Oh, but he will find out his mistake.

If a woman believes all a man says to her,
Why she makes a big mistake;
If in two years after marriage she don't find out better,
Why {hen I have made a mistake.
Unto her he will swear he'll be loving and true.
That by her always his duty he will do.
But if she don't have to cut the wood And bring up the coal, too,
Why then I have made a mistake.

Bob Ingersoll says there is no bad place-
Oh, but Bob will find out his mistake;
When him and old Satan meet face to face-
Oh, but he will find out his mistake.
What old Satan will say to him no one can tell,
But I'll bet a dollar Bob will kick And yell
When Satan grabs him and throws him into----
Well, he will find out his mistake.
