I know a little girl and I want her for my wife, she's pretty and sweet, neat little feet, and never been kissed in her life. You can ask her for a kiss, she said, oh what a bore, every time she bows and declares, she'll never do so anymore, Born to be a better girl and never kiss again, afraid my ma might find it out and cause her great pain. You may walk and talk and hold my hand, but kissing is a crime, I'll not kiss you anymore until next time. I called at her house one night but I didn't intend to stay, she laid her head on my shoulder and said, “The old folks are away.” I kissed her a dozen times and someone came to the door, every time she bowed and declared she'd never do so anymore. Born to be a better girl and never kiss again, afraid my ma might find it out and cause her great pain. You may walk and talk and hold my hand, but kissing is a crime, I'll not kiss you anymore until next time. She'll see you too the door kiss and then goodnight, every time she bows and declares she'll never do so any more. Born to be a better girl and never kiss again, afraid my ma might find it out and cause her great pain. You may walk and talk and hold my hand, but kissing is a crime, I'll not kiss you anymore until next time.
