A Strawberry lilomle.
I'm In love with a strawberry blonde ,
And she wears these colors which suit
The times and herself in which bond
She has , I think , taken the iniit.
Her eyes they are dreamy and sweet ,
And her lips they are strawberry , too
Fill my heart w ith rapture replete
When she calls mo her datlfng du-du.
When the sky is as fair , and nut less
Than herself and it cannot be more
When the weather Is not in a stress
, As sometimes it Is out uf door
If she leads by its slender gold chain
On a walk her frisky tan pup ,
The envious girls can t refrain
From letting their noses go up.
Of a strawberry flavor throughout ,
With u hint of the fruit in her cheeks ,
She was made to go crazy about ,
And is all that my high fancy necks ;
She sweet as the strawberry is
That grows In the wild mountain field ,
And my heart overflows with the bliss
Of knowing her pa is well heeled.
