Joe Offer Origins: Five O'Clock Is Striking (6) RE: Origins: Five O'Clock Is Striking 27 Apr 17

Here's one from Werner's Magazine: A Magazine of Expression, Volume 22 (1898)

Ten o'clock is striking, mother may I go out?
All the girls are waiting for to take me out.
Hand me down my bonnet, hand me down my shawl,
Hand me down my calico dress, and take me to the calico ball.
First he gave me candy, second he gave me cake;
Third he gave me fifty cents to kiss behind the stairs.
I don't want your candy, I don't want your cake,
I don't want your fifty cents to kiss behind the stairs.
