She Is dainty little maid,
With innocent blue eyes,
That she knows how to open wide
To show a shy surprise.
She seemed so modest that thought
I'd like her for my wife:
But when l asked if she'd be mine,
She said: You bet your lifen
Now I am not betting man,
AS all my neighbors know.
I shuddered and away ran
AS fast as could go!
Perhaps she'll sue mel don's care,
And love may just go hang,
For l will never have for wife
A girl who uses slang!

Neglected now. may come and go
