A man is apt to like q girl
If she displays a dimple fleet
And soft, blown hair with tips a-curl.
A figure dainty and petite.
He couldn't keep from loving such
If he for it We're gibbeted:
He certainly would love her much.
No matter who prohibited.
The girl as deftly plays for him
Because she wants him on her list.
And round about her finger slim
She wraps him with a gentle twist.
And well she knows he cares for her
Because she's here and so is he;
The tale she knows were different were
She here ana he across the sea.

ten of them. You have an opening here
for two -four mills, two or three cooper
