The Pretty Young Girl |
This pretty young maid I seek far and wide |
My heartache each morn with her I don’t meet |
When I go to the bar, the dance hall or fete |
But I’d follow her trail in the dead of the night |
Chorus: |
Now you’re the young man that travels afar |
Find me a gem I can have as my wife |
Never yearn or pine for flocks or for kine |
And I’ll conjure plan that will charm her life |
Have her youthful and fair with no worry or care |
Patient and wise in affairs of all kind |
Modest and mild, without too much pride |
That is my love if she hadn’t a dime |
(Chorus) |
Let no blemish or shame be attached to her name |
Honest in heart and gentle in mien |
No hatred or vice to be heard in her voice |
But cheerful and smiling from morning 'til night |
(Chorus) |
And I’ll charm her life |
