Sweetheart Time 1909

In Spring when the flowers are blooming fine
that is just the time when my Sweetheart mine
looks fairer and sweeter than any Rose
that is known far the sweetest of all that grows
her eyes are dark brown and her hair is too
her teeth are like Pearl, but of better hue,
she looks very neat and is so very sweet
she is joyful and never gets blue.

It was sweetheart time
when she said I'm thine,
if you ask my Papa and my Mama
and they give their hearty consent
which I hope
but if they object,
which I do expect,
we will have to be good
until they're in the mood,
for it's sweetheart time.

It was sweetheart time
when she said I'm thine,
if you ask my Papa and my Mama
and they give their hearty consent
which I hope
but if they object,
which I do expect,
we will have to be good
until they're in the mood,
for it's sweetheart time.

One glorious night in the month of June
with a big full moon
just the time to spoon
my Sweetheart and I had that evening planned
and were going up town,
just to hear the Brass Band.
Her mother and father said they'd go too
for neither had anything else to do.
This made her so mad and made me feel so bad
for they made this bright night a hoodoo.

It was sweetheart time
when she said I'm thine,
if you ask my Papa and my Mama
and they give their hearty consent
which I hope
but if they object,
which I do expect,
we will have to be good
until they're in the mood,
for it's sweetheart time.

It was sweetheart time
when she said I'm thine,
if you ask my Papa and my Mama
and they give their hearty consent
which I hope
but if they object,
which I do expect,
we will have to be good
until they're in the mood,
for it's sweetheart time.
