The circus doesn't come along as
often as I'd like.
An fun Isl somethin' as a rule that S
mighty hard to strike.
But when Bill Jones comes courtin -
well, l simply want to say
The way my sister acts will beat
circus any day.
She shakes his hand away UP high an
says, "Why, howdy dor
The same as if she didn't see him
every daS or two.
An then he tries to answer back an
chokes an has to cough,
An I'm a-laughin' fit to kill. while
sisters shown off.
She talks bout books that wrote in
France anIhe says, yes, indeed
A cook book is the only kind | ever
saw her read.
Her face looks fine by gaslight an you
bet / wouldn't dare
To tell him bout the freckles that are
hidden somewhere there.
She plays on the piano; crosses hands.
an then she signs
An looks like she saw angel forms
a-floatin' from the skies.
She yells at me all day, but when Bill
calls her voice gifts sof'
when sisters shown off.
I wouldn't mind bit to see her
comm 1T so strong.
Provided she was only jes' the same
the whole day long.
But when she's cross as lacks an tries
to act as sweet as pie.
1t strikes me as so humorous that I've
got to laugh or die.
An when he gently holds her hand
I'm tempted to let slip
The fact that she kin hit most hard
enough to sink ship.

sheer at folks an scott.
