There
now, 'Mandy; quit yer
grievin',
You're a-pinin' -- yes you air,
I kin see it; seein's
b'lievin'.
Where's that smile you used to wear?
You air tryin' hard to bear
it
An' be brave; that's plain to see.
Better let your daddy share
it;
You're the world an' all to me.'Tain't
fer me to mean to scold you,
That ain't what I want to do.
True, he hadn't ought a-told
you
All that 'bout a love fer you,
But, perhaps, it's really
better
That he wed the girl frum town,
Some day you'll be glad he
met her,
An' then took an' turned you down.
Yes, I
know yer heart's a-breakin',
But yer grievin', 'Mandy, dear,
Gives my own a double achin',
Worst I've had in twenty year,
Let old mem'ry scenes go
flittin',
Don't be pinin' 'way fer him;
There now, 'Mandy, try
fergittin',
Time ull bring another Jim. |
