I'll build a pretty little home,
one that will always be your own,
I pray you'll never go away,
Altho' you want to roam.
My heart it indicates the fear
you'll leave me, Letty dear,
Please don't cause a pang or tear,
don't go away from here.

Linger, Longer, Letty
I love none but you,
Linger, Longer, Letty
You're that last I ever knew,
Believe me, Linger, Longer, Letty
I'll be always near;
So if you linger, longer,
you will longer linger here,
so won't you linger,
longer Letty dear?

Linger, Longer, Letty
I love none but you,
Linger, Longer, Letty
You're that last I ever knew,
Believe me, Linger, Longer, Letty
I'll be always near;
So if you linger, longer,
you will longer linger here,
so won't you linger,
longer Letty dear?

I want you in this pretty nest,
where we can always be at rest,
and I can hold within my arms,
The girl I love the best.
Then just a little bird or two,
will grace our home, my dear.
I see little babes at play,
don't go away from here.

Linger, Longer, Letty
I love none but you,
Linger, Longer, Letty
You're that last I ever knew,
Believe me, Linger, Longer, Letty
I'll be always near;
So if you linger, longer,
you will longer linger here,
so won't you linger,
longer Letty dear?

Linger, Longer, Letty
I love none but you,
Linger, Longer, Letty
You're that last I ever knew,
Believe me, Linger, Longer, Letty
I'll be always near;
So if you linger, longer,
you will longer linger here,
so won't you linger,
longer Letty dear?
