I Sent My Wife to the Thousand Isles - Al Jolson
We stood upon the pier today
And said our last goodbye
And as I held her hand in mine
A tear filled my eye
She saw that tear and said
I hate to leave my darling boy
I turned away she did not know
Those tears were tears of joy
I sent my wife to the Thousand Isles today
My luck is on my way
She's gonna spend a week on every isle
That's why I'm gay
So everybody come and give three cheers
She's gonna be away for twenty years
Oh I sent my wife to the
Thousand Isles today hooray
Just think when I get home
Tonight there'll be no wifey there
And right across the table
Isle will be a vacant chair
I love my wife I love my wife
I love her more each day
I love my wife I love my wife
Because she's far away
Ha ha
I sent my wife to the Thousand Isles today
She's on her way
She's gonna spend a week on every isle
That's why I'm gay
Tonight I'm going home at half past ten
Put on my clothes go out again
'Cause I sent my wife to the Thousand Isles today
Hooray
