Lyrics
Chorus
Oh! oh! oh! my sweet Hortense
She ain’t good lookin’
But she’s got good sense
Before I kiss Hortense
I always buy a nickel’s worth of peppermints
Rain makes flowers pretty I hear
I hope it pours on her for a year
That would be immense
Yer never met a gal like sweet Hortense
Chorus
Oh! oh! oh! my sweet Hortense
She ain’t good lookin’
But she’s got good sense
Before I kiss Hortense
I always buy a nickel’s worth of peppermints
She’s got dandy teeth in her mouth
One points north and the other points south
Say they’re both immense
Yer never met a gal like sweet Hortense
