SHE laughs, the dimples come and go,
She laughs, like rippling waters' flow,
She laughs, but not at me; oh no!
She smiles, the world is bright and fair,
She smiles, my heart is light as air,
She smiles, on me—I do declare!
She loves, ah would you like to know?
She loves, her sweet lips told me so,
She loves—she loves red-headed Joe!
She weds, Joe's heart and mine beat fast,
She weds, we really are aghast!
She weds Old Moneybags at last!
