Put your arms around me, honey,
Hold me tight,
Huddle up and cuddle up
with all your might,
Oh! Oh! Won't you roll those eyes.
Eyes that I just idolize.
When they look at me,
my heart begins to float,
then it starts arockin'
like a motor boat.
Oh! Oh! I never knew any girl like you.

While strolling through the park one day,
In the merry month of May;
I was taken by surprise,
by a pair of roguish eyes,
in a moment,
my poor heart was stole away.
A smile was all she gave to me.
[Whistle:]
Of course, we were as happy as can be,
[Whistle:]
Ah! I immediately raised my hat,
and finally she remarked.
I never shall forget,
that lovely afternoon, I met her
at the fountain in the park.

I'll be your sweetheart,
If you will be mine,
All my life
I'll be your Valentine;
Blue bells I've gathered
keep them and be true,
When I'm a man my plan
will be to marry you.

She's my sweetheart
I'm her beau,
She's my Annie,
I'm her Joe.
Soon we'll marry
never to part,
Little Annie Rooney,
is my sweetheart.

Let us pause in life's pleasures
and count its many tears
while we all sup sorrow with the poor.
There's a song that will linger
for ever in our ears;
Oh! Hard Times, come again no more.
'Tis the song,
the sigh of the weary;
Hard Times, Hard Times,
come again no more.
Many days have you lingered
around my cabin door;
Oh! Hard Times,
come again no more.

Thou wilt come no more, gentle Annie,
like a flow'r thy spirit did depart;
Thou art gone, alas! Like the many
that have bloomed in the summer of my heart.
Shall we never more behold thee,
never hear thy winning voice again,
when the springtime comes, gentle Annie
when the wild flow'rs
are scattered o'er the plain?

'Way down up on the Swanee River,
Far, far away,
There's where my heart is turning ever,
there's where the old folks stay.
All up and down the old creation
sadly I roam,
Still looking for the old plantation,
and for the old folks at home.
All the world is sad and dreary,
ev'rywhere I roam.
Oh! Darkies, how my heart grows weary,
far from the old folks at home.

Put on your tatta little girlie,
Do do what I want you to!
Far from the busy hurly burly
I've got lots to say to you.
My head's completely twirly whirly,
My girl I want you to be,
So put on your tatta
your pretty little tatta,
and come out a tatta with me.

I was a good little girl till I met you.
You sent my head in a whirl,
my poor heart too.
Oh! how you told me this tale
you always do;
I was a good little girl till I met you.

In the twitwitwilight,
out in the beautiful twilight
they all go out for a walk, walk, walk,
a quiet old spoon and a talk, talk, talk,
That's the time they long for,
just before the night,
and many a grand little wedding is planned
in the twitwilight.

Hello! Hello!
Who's your lady friend?
Who's the little girlie by your side?
I've seen you with a girl or two;
Oh! Oh! Oh!
I am surprised at you;
Hello! Hello!
Stop your little games
don't you think your ways
you ought to mend?
It isn't the girl
I saw you with at Brighton,
Who who who's your lady friend?

Two little girls in blue lad,
two little girls in blue,
They were sisters,
we were brothers,
and learned to love the two
and one little girl in blue, lad,
who won your father's heart,
became your mother,
I married the other,
but now we have drifted apart.

Goodbyeee! Goodbyeee!
Wipe the tear, baby dear,
from your eyeee.
Tho' it's hard to part I know,
I'll be tickled to death to go.
Don't cryee! Don't sighee!
There's a silver lining in the skyee.
Bon soir old thing!
Cheerio! Chinchin!
Nahpoo! Toodleoo! Goodbyeee!
