Name Of The Game Was Love Lyrics - Hank Snow

While lookin' through my jewelry drawer beneath some papers there I saw 

An address book I'd kept throughout the years 

It listed all the girls on it friends my list sure has grown 

Each name brings back the laughter and the tears 

There were girls that I'd romance with girls that I had dance with 

Some whose face that I just can't recall 

There were girls I kissed and lied to some I couldn't though I tried to 

The name of the game was love and I played it with them all 

There was Mary Martha Diana Eva Josie Hannah Anna Sally Beth and Rosie 

Bonnie Connie Susan and Cindy you get Claudette Emma and Mindy 

Janett Gina Ingrid or a Bessie Florance Fanny surely were fantasy 

Francie Nora Alice even Dolly Gertie Gretchen Carmelita and Molly 

Girls of every nation each one a new temptation 

They were great I sure had a ball 

They were girls that I had courted girls whose marriage plans I hoarded 

The name of the game was love and I played it with them all 

There was Betty Ann Carol and Yuanita Cora Dora Grace and Rosilita 

Mory Margie Lisa Katie Dottie Lottie Lynn and a Sadie 

Henrietta Mabel Jane and a Alice Daisy Maizie Mona and Cecilia 

Lois Liza Laura and Leona Vida Vee Louisa and Ramona 

Penny Janice Silvia Elmira Etta Gretta Louise or Mira 

Merle and Perle and Leorial and Denise Doris Picta Julia and Amy 

Frances Flora Dontie even Trudy Barbara Ethel Ellen is a beauty 

Katie Camden and Athenalina Georgia Clara Alba and Ema 

Iris Elise Dorothy and Hilda Olga Donna Lulu Bella Gilda 

Eunice Phoebe Ida and a Eda and I loved them all 

And I loved them all
