"I will wipe your eye, eye, eye,
Make it nice and dry, dry, dry,
Just like the blue sky, sky, sky.

"Do not look so shy, shy, shy,
As your hat I tie, tie, tie;
O dear me! oh! why, why, why

"Must you go? O my! my! I
Want you till I die, die, die.
Mam-ma, let me buy, buy, buy

"My dear pet." "O fie! fie! fie!
How you talk! Can I, I, I
Give her up, and hie, hie, hie

"To my home, to sigh, sigh, sigh,
With no dear pet nigh, nigh, nigh,
In my arms to lie, lie, lie?

"No; come, pet, be spry, spry, spry;
Give a jump up high, high, high;
Kiss, and say, Good-by, by, by."
