NANCY'S WAY.

When In fashions dainty prime
Pretty Nancy walks the street,
Half the town is keeping time
To the rhythm Of her feet,
While the other half looks gay.
AS If smiling lips would say,
"Nancy, Nancy, darling Nancy,
Charming Nancy. come this wayi
Bright and blooming as a rose,
Hccdng neither smile ror sigh,
Down tho street sweet Nancy goes,
Passing all her lovers by,
Mover granting yea nor ray,
Though tho lips and glances pray,
"Nancy, Nancy, lovely Nancy,
Phase. dear Nancy, como this wayf
Thcn, between the leafy shades,
Di-ds crow bold1r without fear;
rs sweet Nancy prJncnadcs
Sing thcy louder and moro clear,
Trilling, thrilling roundClay,
"Glad we are this sunny day;
Nancy, Nancy, pretty Nancy,
Darling Nancy comes our way!'
But sweet Nancy's full Of care,
Hears she neither song nor talk;
Hardly more Gun maiden bear,
when she's learning how to walk,
And ho- tiny feet will stray
Spite Of AL that nurses say.
Nancy, Nancy, toddling Nancy,
Nancy has her own sweet wayl
