Subject: Don't Laugh by the Louvin Brothers

DON'T LAUGH by Charlie and Ira Louvin

      G                           C                          G             
If I cry when I kiss you when we say goodbye
         D                 G
Don't laugh , don't laugh
                                                      C         G
If I say I've always loved you and I will til I die
         D                 G
Don't laugh , don't laugh
           C                                          G
I could never find another there's no use for me to try
  C                                                   G           D
I beg of you my darling, please don't laugh if I cry
      G                                             C          G

If I say I've always loved you and I will til I die
         D                 G
Don't laugh , don't laugh

(After this and every other verse, play the second half of the verse,
starting from "I could never find another..."  and ending with "Don't laugh,
don't laugh" as an instrumental section)

Honest darling I'm not teasing when I tell you you're the best
Don't laugh, don't laugh
And if you will take this chance I know my love will stand the test
Don't laugh, don't laugh
I could never find another there's no use for me to try
I beg of you my darling, please don't laugh if I cry
If I say I've always love you and I will til I die
Don't laugh, don't laugh

When I say there is no other and no other there will be
Don't laugh, don't laugh
You have always made me happy and have always been so sweet
Don't laugh, don't laugh
I could never find another there's no use for me to try
I beg of you my darling, please don't laugh if I cry
If I say I've always love you and I will til I die
Don't laugh, don't laugh
