Post your suggestions below and I'll edit them into this message. -Joe- FOUR LITTLE GIRLS IN BOSTON (Jimmie Driftwood) Four little girls in the town of Boston, Molly and Polly and Tillie and Flo; One had a harp and one had a horn, And one had a fiddle and the other had a bow. CHORUS Take me back to the town of Boston, Turn me loose and let me go; Four little girls in the town of Boston, Molly and Polly and Tillie and Flo. When old Lord Howe got stuck in Boston, A guest the white folks often know (???) He lost his head and he lost his heart To Molly and Polly and Tillie and Flo. CHORUS When Paul Revere rode out of Boston, The old folks say this tale is so, The ones who prayed to the break of dawn Were Molly and Polly and Tillie and Flo. Listen to the harp and listen to the horn, Listen again to the fiddle and the bow; Four little girls in the town of Boston, Molly and Polly and Tillie and Flo. When Lord Cornwallis sailed away, The general ordered me to go; Take the news to Boston, [take 'em????] Molly and Polly and Tillie and Flo. CHORUS The war is done and the mourning dove Is a-nesting where the breezes blow; I'm so glad 'cause I'm in love with Molly and Polly and Tillie and Flo. CHORUS Listen to the harp and listen to the horn, Listen again to the fiddle and the bow; Four little girls in the town of Boston, Molly and Polly and Tillie and Flo.
