Sweet Willie |
| Come all young girls of a tender mind |
| My story I’ll tell to you |
| And listen well to my advice |
| And to my counsel true |
| As a rule, the mind of a girl is weak |
| And the mind of a man is strong |
| And if you listen to what they say |
| They’re sure to lead you wrong |
| When I was in my sixteenth year |
| Sweet Willie courted me |
| He said, if I’d run away with him |
| His loving bride I’d be |
| When we were far away from home |
| Enjoying a happy life |
| He said, go home, go home, little girl |
| For you never can be my wife |
| Oh, Willie dear, what have I done? |
| What makes you treat me so? |
| How can you take me from my home |
| And leave me here to mourn? |
| It’s nature, nature, my little girl |
| I find no fault in you |
| My mind is set on rambling around |
| And now I bid you adieu |
