Only a Glass of Champagne lyrics

Only a glass of champagne

But it's led a poor girl into sin

Only a glass of champagne

Was the door where the devil crept in

It's just an old story, it's always the same

Just like a poor moth she flew too near the flame

She opened her wings and she lost her good name

All through a glass of champagne

Here is the picture, a man and a girl

Strolling along in the shade

He is a Marquis, the son of an Earl

And she is a pure village maid

He tells her he loves her again and again

She thinks he is loyal and true

And then comes the night that he gives her champagne

And does what he ought not to do!

And she lost her honour in sorrow and pain

With her false lover she pleaded in vain

But by the next morning, she'd lost it again

And it was all through a glass of champagne

So all you young maidens, take warning from her

If you're taken out by a Lord or a Sir

Be careful you don't let the same thing occur

All through a glass of champagne

If he gives you a glass of champagne
