[1st verse:]
|
Two loving sweethearts 'mid flowers in Maytime
|
Two happy faces like children in playtime
|
Two eyes of blue, gazing into
|
Eyes of her own sweetheart
|
One cozy bench holds the couple within it
|
Hours that passed only seemed like a minute
|
Sweet maiden sighs
|
Fellow replies
|
"Tell me before we part"
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Next to your mother, who do you love?
|
Next to your father, and your sister Sue
|
Tell me who looks good to you
|
Next to your mother, who would you miss?
|
Next to your brother, who would you kiss?
|
Next to your own dear folks at home
|
Tell me, now who do you love?
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
Five cozy rooms in a flat in the city
|
One baby boy cute and cunning and pretty
|
Parson had said
|
"You two are wed
|
Bless you my children, go"
|
"Come spend a week," so she wrote to her mother
|
Mother replies, "I am bringing your brother"
|
Husband remarks
|
"Me for the parks
|
But first I want to know"
|
