Lyrics You're A Queer One, Julie Jordan - Rodgers and Hammerstein

You're A Queer One, Julie Jordan

Did you like it when he talked to you today,
When he put you on the carousel that way, mm mm mm
Did you like that?
I’d rather not say.
You’re a queer one, Julie Jordan,
You were quieter and deeper than a well
An' ye never tell me nuthin'!
There’s nuthin' that I keer to choose to tell.
You been acting most peculiar,
Every morning you’re awake ahead of me,
Always settin' by the winder.
I like to watch the river meet the sea.
When we work in the mill, weavin' at the loom
You gaze absent-minded at the roof
And half the time your shuttle gets twisted in the threads,
'Till you can’t tell the warp from the woof.
'Taint so.
You’re a queer one, Julie Jordan,
You won’t ever tell a body what you think.
You’re as tight-lipped as an oyster,
And as silent as an old Sahara spink!
