Lyr. Add: RIDIN' IN A RAILROAD KEER

Suke Sattinet was a comely ga',
And loved her parents dear,
Till she met Sim Jim, the miller's son,
A ridin' in a railroad keer.
Slim Jim's dad's house was top of the hill,
Suke Sattinet she lived near;
'Twas, going to the mill,
She met Slim Jim, a ridin' in a railroad keer.
'Twas, going to the mill,
She met Slim Jim, a ridin' in a railroad keer.



He winked at Sal, and she looked sly:
Then called her his duck and dear!
Says Jim: Will you have me?
Says Suke: I will. -- ridin' in a railroad keer.
But, as they neared the old man's house,
Jim began to shake with fear,
And he lost all the courage he had before,
Ridin' in a railroad keer.
And he lost all the courage he had before,
Ridin' in a railroad keer.

When they got to the house, he took off his cap,
Then bowed and scraped so queer:
Says he: Your daughter promised to be mine,
Ridin' in a railroad keer.
The old man took his gun from the shelf,
Says he: Slim Jim.. just clear,
Or I'll blow you so high, you'll never come down,
Ridin' in a railroad keer.
Or I'll blow you so high, you'll never come down,
Ridin' in a railroad keer.

May we never make matrimony a matter of money.
Who'd marry an old maid of forty?
Take her for the rest of his life?
Not I; for, the boys that are naughty,
Would call her my mother-- no. wife.

Notes: Hope this helps.
