She invited me to go with her, I said I did not mind;
She looked just like a lady, dressed up in a crinoline.
She took me to a splendid house, with cushions on the chairs,
She treated me to brandy—and took me up the stairs,
She undressed me so kindly, and said she would be mine;
But I cursed the hour I admired her handsome crinoline.
I had a splendid watch and chain, I’d gold and silver, too,
But in the morning when I woke I scarce knew what to do,
For in the middle of the night, after treating me so kind,
She stole my money, watch and clothes, and left me her crinoline.
