Innocent Bessie Brown |
| Innocent Bessie landed in the city |
| From Kankakee the sights to see |
| Fellows looked at her saying what a pity |
| She’s from the farm meaning no harm |
| Ev’ry maiden, ev’ry gent |
| When discussing she |
| Said she must be innocent |
| 'Cause she came from Kankakee |
| Innocent Bessie Brown |
| Wanted to see the town |
| Met upon the Avenue one afternoon fair |
| A fellow who said, «'Aven't you an hour to spare?» |
| So pretty |
| Innocent Bessie Brown |
| Went for an hour in town |
| And when the day was breaking they were still partaking |
| Of some fizzes of gin that fizzed within |
| Innocent Bessie Brown |
| Bessie was stopping with her second cousin |
| Who was a beaut, cunning and cute |
| Fellows would call upon her by the dozen |
| Innocent Bess never could guess |
| Where her cousin got such toys |
| Diamonds more or less |
| 'Twasn't long before the boys |
| Made a jew’lry store out of Bess |
| Innocent Bessie Brown |
| Dressed in a country gown |
| Bessie Brown was lonesome for a diamond or two |
| But since she met the city she could loan some to you |
| And she was |
| Innocent Bessie Brown |
| Lived in a country town |
| When Missus Morgan chubby, missed her darling hubby |
| She began talking war while hunting for |
| Innocent Bessie Brown |
