Nancy, I Fancy You 1906 'Dream City. The Magic Knight'

James Pitt-Payne - 31 Jan 2004

The maiden of my fancy is so divinely fair,
the golden sunbeams linger,
to nestle in her hair.
The evening star might envy,
her sparkling eyes of blue;
but I am just describing,
a little maid like you.

Pretty little Nancy,
you are just my fancy,
you're the girl for me.
By the stars above you,
I will ever love you,
if my own you'll be.
I know lots of city girls,
pretty girls and witty girls,
but to give them all their due;
Other chaps may try for them,
sigh for them, die for them,
I fancy you.

When your sweet eyes meet mine dear,
then look demurely down,
no earthly king I envy,
his kingdom and his crown;
No palace grand could equal
a cottage built for two,
if in it only dwell dear,
a little maid like you.

Pretty little Nancy,
you are just my fancy,
you're the girl for me.
By the stars above you,
I will ever love you,
if my own you'll be.
I know lots of city girls,
pretty girls and witty girls,
but to give them all their due;
Other chaps may try for them,
sigh for them, die for them,
I fancy you.
