'Neath the maple shade
sits a tearful maid,
for her tender heart feels blue,
and she sighs and sighs
till her sweetheart cries
don't be frowning dearest Sue.
Tho' your dad has said
that we cannot wed,
He'll consent love by the spring,
Keep on smiling dear
banish each sad tear
soon we'll hear the sweet bells ring.

Keep on smiling, sweetheart,
smiling don't be grieving,
there's a time for me and you,
to the church we'll go together
and the weather will be smiling on us too,
Tho' the day seems long and dreary,
just be cheery,
for I always want you near
Promise you will be my ray of sunshine,
Keep on smiling dear.

Keep on smiling, sweetheart,
smiling don't be grieving,
there's a time for me and you,
to the church we'll go together
and the weather will be smiling on us too,
Tho' the day seems long and dreary,
just be cheery,
for I always want you near
Promise you will be my ray of sunshine,
Keep on smiling dear.

As he cheers her heart
all her frowns depart,
all her sorrow goes away
and she cries: "Dear me"
down the lane just see
there's a wedding Jack today.
There's the bride to be
oh! if I were she
Listen how the sweet bells ring.
Nature smiles today
all the world seems gay
and the smiling lovers sing.

Keep on smiling, sweetheart,
smiling don't be grieving,
there's a time for me and you,
to the church we'll go together
and the weather will be smiling on us too,
Tho' the day seems long and dreary,
just be cheery,
for I always want you near
Promise you will be my ray of sunshine,
Keep on smiling dear.

Keep on smiling, sweetheart,
smiling don't be grieving,
there's a time for me and you,
to the church we'll go together
and the weather will be smiling on us too,
Tho' the day seems long and dreary,
just be cheery,
for I always want you near
Promise you will be my ray of sunshine,
Keep on smiling dear.
