Lyrics
Days of novenas weren’t enough to bring James back And the grim concertina piping from the gardener’s shack Was no deliverance at all It seemed more like an air attack Great Aunt Cristina sent a letter with a ticket attached She wrote “Come to Argentina. You’ll feel better. He was never a catch— Oh, no; but it’s pointless fretting over that right now You’re sure to find yourself a suitable match.” Woe Oh, but the heart wants what it wants, even distressed So, she takes up the same request She will not let Saint Anthony rest
