A Husband’s Lament.
Air—“I once had a sweet little Doll, dears.”
(Kingsley’s Words, set by A. Cecil.)
I once saw a sweet pretty face, boys:
Its beauty and grace were divine.
And I felt what a swell I should be, boys,
Could I boast that such charms were all mine!
I wooed. Every man I cut out, boys,
At my head deep anathemas hurled:—
But I said as I walked back from church, boys,
“I’m the luckiest dog in the world!”
