Lyrics
Chorus
She was a dear little girl
Dearest of dear little girls
Dear little eyes, dear little size
Dear little golden curls
She murmured, “Dear, never fear
I’ll always hold you dear”
When she said so true
“I’m fond of wine,” he knew
She was a dear, dear girl
Chorus
She was a dear little girl
Dearest of dear little girls
Dear little eyes, dear little size
Dear little golden curls
She murmured, “Dear, never fear
I’ll always hold you dear”
To a check his pen
Was introduced, but then
She was a dear, dear girl
