My Angeiine.
once adored a simple girl. her name
was Angelina.
She was a pretty country MISS
wished she could be mine
/ took her TO the huskin' bees ana
when l had u chance
1 put my arm around her waist ana
asked her for to dance.
She said them honeyed words to me
when she sat on my knees.
She made me think the moon, by Jing,
was made of full cream cheese.
She said she dearly loved to cook
and bake and sew and scrub
And then is when some good irlenu
should have hit mo with club.
AS have said she was a simple miss.
my Angelina
That is to say, she was when she
consented TO be mine.
The weddin' il was beautiful, the
music was immense.
For pa-in-law, he staged the thing
regardless of expense.
AS soon as we got married she forgot
just how to cook.
But sat around all day and read an
Agnes Fleming book.
She couldn't find the time TO bake
or sweep or sew or scrub.
had 10 git a hired girl TO rassle with
the grub.
My Angelina. the country lass. is
ketchin on for fair.
She has TO have a woman come each
day and fix her hair.
She cannot trim her finger nails, the
thought she can't endure,
And so three times week she has to
have a manicure.
She's got a lot of female help Arranging

She's got a gal TO hook her dress and
one to rub her face.
