Good morning to you
I peddled my papers for five long years The news of the day was my worry and care With worry and tears till I felt I was through When a sweet voice whispered, Good morning to you She smiled at me sweetly and bid me good day Then she left me happy my heart in a daze I wondered if angels could be so true As the one who had said, Good morning to you I went back to my papers next morning st five My heart in a flutter no sleep in my eye But my hopes took a tumble, me heart lost its pride When she came into view, a gent by her side The nearer she came the madder I got I swore I would kill him right there on the spot But I lost all my anger and felt like a cad When she presented her charming old dad Then I went over to her fell on my knees But stars, dots, and dashes were all I could see I tried to propose like other men do But all could say was, Good morning to you She smailed at me sweetly and gave me her hand Said, Come on my darling for I understand Instead of me answering the parson I do I popped up and said, Good morning to you
