Lyrics:

Well it was love, love alone
Caused King Edward to leave his throne,
It was love, love, love, love, love alone
Caused King Edward to leave his throne

On the 10th of December we heard the talk
He gave his throne to the duke of York
It was love, love, love, love, love alone
Caused King Edward to leave his throne

King Edward was noble, King Edward was great
It was love that caused him to abdicate
It was love, love, love, love, love alone
Caused King Edward to leave his throne

He said he was sorry that his mammy would grieve
He cannot help it he would have to leave
It was love, love, love, love, love alone
Caused King Edward to leave his throne

You can take his cow you can take his goat
Leave him with his Yachting boat
It was love, love, love, love, love alone
Caused King Edward to leave his throne

You can take his money you can take his store
But give him that lady from Baltimore
It was love, love, love, love, love alone
Caused King Edward to leave his throne

I don’t know what miss Simpson got in her bone
That caused the king to leave his throne
It was love, love, love, love, love alone
Caused King Edward to leave his throne

On the 10th of December 1936
The duke of Windsor went to get his kicks
It was love, love, love, love, love alone
Caused King Edward to leave his throne
It was love, love, love, love, love alone
