THE OLD SWEETHEART.

THE OLD SWEETHEART,
/ used to know little gal,
By jingl she was a peach.
But l learned to my great regret
She was beyond my reach
She had the softest kind of eyes.
Her fgger was immense.
] wanted to wed her, but ]
Could not stand the expense.
/ was then gettin' six a week.
She said to run along
And try upon some other gal
Ny sweet and artful song.
she said that she was goin' to wed
Some older guy who earned
A hundred dollars every month,
And so my suit she spurned.
Wee whiz! surely had 1t bad,
And life meant nausht to me.
There was no gal in this whole world
At all exceptin' she.
She went and wed q canvasser,
A crayon portrait gink.
] thought that would lose a;y mind
And go right on the blink.
Twas twenty years ago that she
Throwed my young love away.
/ never saw that gal again
TIL just the other day.
She had five kids taggin' her
And wheeled two IN cart,
And didn't look much like she did
When she said we must part.
She weighs about two hundred pounds
And | have got bunch
That she kin knock her husband out
with just about one punch.
She's got well-deVeloped crouch,
And when she looks at you
She seems as though she is about
To bite a nail in two.
The crayon portrait feller, he
Just tags round In her wake.
She makes him do the housework and
Wash dishes. sweep and bake.
/ guess, when it Is said and done,
That puppy loves shine;
I'm doggone glad didn't win
That old sweetheart of mine.
