Coax Me 1904

A night in June,
a lovely moon,
beneath the trees
two dusky lovers wooing
he softly sighs
she rolls her eyes,
Soon just like a turtle dove
he's sweetly cooing.
On those ruby lips
I'd like to press a kiss, Lize,
Just one or two,
perhaps a few
Can't I take you in my arms,
a moments bliss, Lize,
Just because you are the girl
I wants to wed;
but she said:

Coax me, go on and coax me,
If you love me madly,
want me badly,
Coax me,
go on and coax me,
I'll be your tootsie, wootsie,
If you'll coax me.

But you must

Coax me, go on and coax me,
If you love me madly,
want me badly,
Coax me,
go on and coax me,
I'll be your tootsie, wootsie,
If you'll coax me.

Once more he sighs
I love you Lize,
If I should go
just think what
you'd be missing,
Then on the breeze
from 'neath the trees,
Came a noise that sounded
just like some one kissing;
And a tender voice said:
"Give me just one more, Lize.
That one I had, made me so glad,
don't you think you better
make it three or four Lize,
and I'll pay them back
to you the day we wed,"
But she said:

Coax me, go on and coax me,
If you love me madly,
want me badly,
Coax me,
go on and coax me,
I'll be your tootsie, wootsie,
If you'll coax me.

But you must

Coax me, go on and coax me,
If you love me madly,
want me badly,
Coax me,
go on and coax me,
I'll be your tootsie, wootsie,
If you'll coax me.
