her hat?
She is neat and she is natty and most
rayishingly sweet,
With that old gray goosequill sticking
in her hat.
In her eyes there is sparkle of most in-
dependent pride,
On her face q cute expression she wouil
never try to hide,
And her bootheels with the pavement
so decisively collide
That it jars the old gray goosequill in
her hat.
OH she is a pleasing picture as she gaily
trips along
With an old gray goosequill sticking in
her hat!
Her eyes are dreams of glory and her
smile a radiant song,
With that old gray goosequill sticking
in her hat.
In her dress there is smartness that
must magnet every eye,
Every head turns on it's pivot as the
men she passes by:
They admire her style, her action and her
bright expressive eye,
Allu tne olu gray SUoSequht SllchlHS ~
her hat.
How she calls to mind the warrior of
redskin Indian race,
With that old gray goosequal sticking
in her hat,
Sometimes bears out the simle by paint
ing up her face.
With that old gray goosequill sticking
in her hat.
She lis out upon the warpath, be she
plump or be she syelte,
And many a paleface fellow has her
eye-Shot arrows felt
Many lovers scalps are dangling from
her alligator belt,
That sweet warrior with the goosequll
in her hat.
We AN love her and admire her, JUST
cawn't help it, don't We know,
With that old gray goosequill sticking
i'm her hat.
She's the very fairest jewel in our Wes.-
ern beauty show,
That neat sage-hen with the gOosequl
in her hat.
Maids of statuesque construction meath
their ostrich plumes arrayed
Or with wealth of floral beauty OH
their proud heads may parade,
But they simply aren't in it with the
dashing ittle maid
With the old gray goosequill sticking
in her hat.
