Why must I meet you in a secret rendezvous?
Why must we steal away to steal a kiss or two?
Why must we wait to do the things we want to do?
Why, oh, why, oh, why, oh, why, oh why?
Wish we didn't have to meet secretly
Wish we didn't have to kiss secretly
Wish we didn't have to be afraid
To show the world that we're in love
Till we have the right to meet openly
Till we have the right to kiss openly
We'll just have to be content to be in love secretly
Why, oh, why, oh, why, oh, why, oh why?
Wish we didn't have to meet secretly
Wish we didn't have to kiss secretly
Wish we didn't have to be afraid
To show the world that we're in love
Till we have the right to meet openly
Till we have the right to kiss openly
We'll just have to be content to be in love secretly
END of 45-single version
Transcriber's NOTE: Additional verse NOT sung by Rodgers
Why must we wait until we're dancing cheek to cheek?
To whisper all the words of love we long to speak?
Why must our love be like a game of hide-and-seek?

Jimmie Rodgers (James Charles Rodgers), noto come "The Singing Brakeman", "The Blue Yodeler" o "Father of Country Music", è stato un cantante statunitense di grande successo negli anni '20 e '30. Nato in Mississippi nel 1897, Rodgers iniziò la sua carriera lavorando come bracciante ferroviario prima di dedicarsi alla musica country. La sua voce potente e il suo stile unico, caratterizzato da una ritmica jodel, lo resero un'icona del genere. Rodgers è considerato uno dei pionieri della musica country moderna, influenzando generazioni di artisti successivi. Alcuni dei suoi brani più famosi includono "Blue Yodel No. 1", "T for Texas" e "In the Jailhouse Now". La sua influenza sulla musica americana è immensa, e Rodgers continua ad essere celebrato come una leggenda del country music.
