I once had a sweet little doll, dears, The prettiest doll in the world; Her cheeks were so red and so white, dears, And her hair was so charmingly curled; But I lost my poor little doll, dears, As I played in the heath one day; And I cried for her more than a week, dears, But I never could find where she lay. I found my poor little doll, dears, As I played in the heath one day; Folks say she's terribly changed, dears, For her paint is all washed away, And her arm's trodden off by the cows, dears, And her hair's not the least bit curled; Yet for old sake's sake she is still, dears, The prettiest doll in the world. |
