Knock Wood 1911

She was a pretty little miss,
He, said that she was made to kiss,
In his arms he'd fold her,
And oh! how tight he'd hold her,
They had a fuss as lovers do.
Say, he said tell me where were you,
Eight o'clock last evening?
Or you and I are through!
She laughed and shook her head,
Then he got mad and said,

If you love a Pearl, of a girl,
with a curl,
Knock wood, Knock wood.
If she loves you too,
says to you,
I'll be true,
Knock wood, Knock wood.
If you say: "I guess I've got her right,"
Guess again who she was with last night,
Then go tie a string to the ring,
While you sing
Knock wood, Knock wood.

If you love a Pearl, of a girl,
with a curl,
Knock wood, Knock wood.
If she loves you too,
says to you,
I'll be true,
Knock wood, Knock wood.
If you say: "I guess I've got her right,"
Guess again who she was with last night,
Then go tie a string to the ring,
While you sing
Knock wood, Knock wood.

He said: "I'm way up in the air,"
She said: "Perhaps you think I care,"
Once I caught you teasing,
with Jennie Brown and squeezing,
I let you get away with that,
Why, I just ought to leave you flat
Don't go what's your hurry,
Well good night
here's your hat,
But say before you go,
I just want you to know.

If you love a Pearl, of a girl,
with a curl,
Knock wood, Knock wood.
If she loves you too,
says to you,
I'll be true,
Knock wood, Knock wood.
If you say: "I guess I've got her right,"
Guess again who she was with last night,
Then go tie a string to the ring,
While you sing
Knock wood, Knock wood.

If you love a Pearl, of a girl,
with a curl,
Knock wood, Knock wood.
If she loves you too,
says to you,
I'll be true,
Knock wood, Knock wood.
If you say: "I guess I've got her right,"
Guess again who she was with last night,
Then go tie a string to the ring,
While you sing
Knock wood, Knock wood.
