If She Was, What She Was, When She Was Sixteen (1923) VICTOR – 19230 - B Joe Young, Sam Lewis, lyricists George Meyer, composer Henry Burr, vocalist Issued 1923 It is worth noting that this song was written during the era of the ‘Flappers’: Young women going out unchaperoned, dancing, drinking, and picking their own companions instead of obeying parental choices. All this had older generations deeply rattled. In the story book of life you’ll find Tales of those who never looked ahead She was just a simple country kind But she strayed where angels fear to tread If she was what she was when she was sixteen You’d find her again on the old village green She’s not what she was And the reason is plain Instead of the straight road She took the wrong lane The world never thinks ‘Mid its storm and complaints If there were no sinners There’d never be saints So lift her up gently And help her to clean Like she was when she was sixteen If she was what she was when she was sixteen You’d find her again on the old village green She’s not what she was And the reason is plain Instead of the straight road She took the wrong lane So lift her up gently And help her to clean Like she was when she was sixteen Victor Records were produced by the Victor Talking Machine Company, a major US recording and phonograph company founded in 1901, known for its "Victrola" phonographs and "His Master's Voice" logo featuring Nipper, the listening dog.
