To take the telegrams; she’s pretty near

A daisy, too. Her eyes are big and brown;

And when she sets there kind of lookin’ down,

As though she didn’t notice things, it’s queer

The way I get to wishin’ I could go

And save her from the clutches of some foe.

She makes me feel as though I’d like to be

A handsome man, about six foot, and strong,

To take her in my arms and let her see

That I was here protectin’ her from wrong.
