Since the days of old,
Fairy tales are told,
how we love each quaint simple story.
When my mem'ry strays
back to nurs'ry days
I recall this old fashioned tale.

She was sweet sixteen
little Angeline,
Always dancing
on the village green,
as the boys passed by,
you could hear them cry:
"Poor little Angeline."
Oh! her eyes were brown
and her hair hung down,
laddered stockings
and an old blue gown.
But she dream'd we're told
of a lover bold,
Poor little Angeline.
Then one day her Prince came a riding
and he stopped right by her side,
very soon she heard him confiding
"I want to make you my bride,"
What a pretty scene
on the village green,
when the prince
was wed to Angeline,
Now as his Princess
she's a great success,
Poor little Angeline.
