You Remind Me Of The Girl 1910

There's a little old red schoolhouse
in the town where I was born,
and around it mem'ries linger in my heart.
Ev'ry recess hour I used to meet
a tiny little girl,
And I never thought
that she and I would part.
But time brings many changes,
and one day I went away,
To seek my fortune in a foreign clime;
Yet my thoughts were always of her,
the dear girl was not forgot,
You remind me
of my sweet "ForgetMeNot"

You remind me of the girl
that used to go to school with me,
You remind me of the girl
I used to meet beneath the tree.
With your little gingham gown,
and your hair all hanging down,
You remind me of the girl
that used to go to school with me.

You remind me of the girl
that used to go to school with me,
You remind me of the girl
I used to meet beneath the tree.
With your little gingham gown,
and your hair all hanging down,
You remind me of the girl
that used to go to school with me.

I remember you now since you speak
about the school playground,
I remember meeting you beneath the tree.
When we used to play at seesaw,
and you rocked me in the swing,
and on May Day I was Queen and you were King.
How happy on your arm I was,
while walking through the town,
Upon my head a Roses wreath and Crown;
When you whipped big Billy Brown,
who was the bully of the town
because he tore my little gingham gown:

You remind me of the girl
that used to go to school with me,
You remind me of the girl
I used to meet beneath the tree.
With your little gingham gown,
and your hair all hanging down,
You remind me of the girl
that used to go to school with me.

You remind me of the girl
that used to go to school with me,
You remind me of the girl
I used to meet beneath the tree.
With your little gingham gown,
and your hair all hanging down,
You remind me of the girl
that used to go to school with me.
