Sing song girl from China far away,
Loved an American lad;
Sing song girl came to 'merica, gay,
Her heart feeling sad;
Soon she met her Yankee beau,
Yankee learns to love her so,
From him he would not let her go,
It make her heart so glad.

Poor Ming Toy.
She love her Yankee boy;
And Yankee chappy,
Make her so happy,
To him she sings her lullaby
out in moon light,
Sing Song girl each day,
For Yankee man she pray;
China maiden don't want lots of gold,
Just her Yankee in her arms to hold;
Ming Toy Sing Song Girl.

Poor Ming Toy.
She love her Yankee boy;
And Yankee chappy,
Make her so happy,
To him she sings her lullaby
out in moon light,
Sing Song girl each day,
For Yankee man she pray;
China maiden don't want lots of gold,
Just her Yankee in her arms to hold;
Ming Toy Sing Song Girl.

Yankee boy loved China maiden true,
For her he gladly would die;
Chinaman loved this pretty maid, too,
But she cast him by,
Chinaman soon went away;
Making Sing Song girl so gay,
Yankee and Ming Toy wed one day,
As Cherry time drew nigh.

Poor Ming Toy.
She love her Yankee boy;
And Yankee chappy,
Make her so happy,
To him she sings her lullaby
out in moon light,
Sing Song girl each day,
For Yankee man she pray;
China maiden don't want lots of gold,
Just her Yankee in her arms to hold;
Ming Toy Sing Song Girl.

Poor Ming Toy.
She love her Yankee boy;
And Yankee chappy,
Make her so happy,
To him she sings her lullaby
out in moon light,
Sing Song girl each day,
For Yankee man she pray;
China maiden don't want lots of gold,
Just her Yankee in her arms to hold;
Ming Toy Sing Song Girl.
