YOU SENT HER AN ORCHID
Recorded by Jean Shepard
Words and music by Jerry Jerico and Kenneth Grant
C You said you'd forget her, you tried I sup-{F} pose
But you sent her an C Orchid, you sent me a G7 Rose
I'm plain as the C sunshine, she wears fancy F clothes
So you sent her an C Orchid, G7 you sent me a C Rose.
The F thing that really breaks my heart, is C finding out you lied
If F you'd been honest at the start, I C would have stepped a-{G7} side
You think it's a C secret, but ever'one F knows
That you sent her an C Orchid, G7 you sent me a C Rose.
It F wasn't bad enough to cheat and C run around on me
You F had to go and add the insult C to the injur-{G7} y
Go buy her some C diamonds, for her fancy F clothes
Then send her an C Orchid and G7 give her this C Rose.
