He's A Cousin Of Mine 1906

There's a scandal in the neighborhood
and it's all 'bout Julie Brown
It seems her long lost cousin, Jeremiah,
had lately arrived in town,
when Julie's feller came to call
that Sunday at her home,
he found the pair a sitting there
jes' spooning in the gloam,
The sight made him so riled
he started home at once
but Julie said: "I'm s'prised at you,
don't go act like a dunce:"

Why he's a cousin of mine,
just a cousin of mine,
you're li'ble for
to see him here any old time.
Jes' like a bee you're all the time a buzzin'
'tain't no harm for to hug and kiss your cousin,
I haven't seen Jerry,
in the last ten years,
you know that's a mighty long time.
He's mother's sister's angel child,
He's a cousin of mine.

Why he's a cousin of mine,
just a cousin of mine,
you're li'ble for
to see him here any old time.
Jes' like a bee you're all the time a buzzin'
'tain't no harm for to hug and kiss your cousin,
I haven't seen Jerry,
in the last ten years,
you know that's a mighty long time.
He's mother's sister's angel child,
He's a cousin of mine.

When she had explained her relationship
he replied: "It may be so."
but he don't look like a thirtysecond cousin
that I met a week ago.
She smiled at him quite innocently
and blushed up to her hair,
then said: "If you don't want him 'round
I will tell him so, my dear,
She joined her cousin's side
and as they stroll'd away
he heard him ask: "Who is that freak?"
and heard his Julie say:

Why he's a cousin of mine,
just a cousin of mine,
you're li'ble for
to see him here any old time.
Jes' like a bee you're all the time a buzzin'
'tain't no harm for to hug and kiss your cousin,
I haven't seen Jerry,
in the last ten years,
you know that's a mighty long time.
He's mother's sister's angel child,
He's a cousin of mine.

Why he's a cousin of mine,
just a cousin of mine,
you're li'ble for
to see him here any old time.
Jes' like a bee you're all the time a buzzin'
'tain't no harm for to hug and kiss your cousin,
I haven't seen Jerry,
in the last ten years,
you know that's a mighty long time.
He's mother's sister's angel child,
He's a cousin of mine.
