My Hiking Girl 1932

I've had girls of all sorts,
and I've found them all sports,
but about as useless as can be,
girls who love to motor
but couldn't cook a bloater,
but now I've found the one for me.

I walk the country lanes,
the pretty country lanes
with my sweet hiking girl.
Rain or sun, it's all one
to my sweet hiking girl!
What do we care for weather?
Not a tinker's cuss!
So long as we are together,
it's enough for us!
By all the stars above,
I'm happy to be in love
with just a hiking girl!

I walk the country lanes,
the pretty country lanes
with my sweet hiking girl.
Rain or sun, it's all one
to my sweet hiking girl!
What if a gale is blowing?
What's a little breeze?
And what if it starts a snowing
and we start to freeze?
For tho' my nose is blue,
I'd willingly catch the flu
with just a hiking girl.

When the trees are nodding,
up the hills we're plodding,
with a song a singing in our hearts,
watched the sun ascending
and found the rainbow's ending,
discovered how all true love starts.

I walk the country lanes,
the pretty country lanes
with my sweet hiking girl.
Rain or sun, it's all one
to my sweet hiking girl!
What if we've had no dinner
since the day before
we're both of us getting thinner,
slimness I adore!
Altho' I'm far from strong,
I'm happy to crawl along
with just a hiking girl!

I walk the country lanes,
the pretty country lanes
with my sweet hiking girl.
Rain or sun, it's all one
to my sweet hiking girl!
What if the bogland oozes
mud up to our knees?
And what if we're full of bruises,
bumping in to trees?
Imagining the worst,
I'm happy to die of thirst
with just a hiking girl!

Night time finds us stranded,
don't know where we've landed,
that's the time when hiking is a lark.
we both think it's splendid
and well, to be quite candid,
we have a cuddle in the dark.

I walk the country lanes,
the pretty country lanes
with my sweet hiking girl.
Rain or sun, it's all one
to my sweet hiking girl!
What do we care for weather?
Not a tinker's cuss!
So long as we are together,
it's enough for us!
By all the stars above,
I'm happy to be in love
with just a hiking girl!

I walk the country lanes,
the pretty country lanes
with my sweet hiking girl.
Rain or sun, it's all one
to my sweet hiking girl!
What if a gale is blowing?
What's a little breeze?
And what if it starts a snowing
and we start to freeze?
For tho' my nose is blue,
I'd willingly catch the flu
with just a hiking girl.
