I don't think I've ever encountered another song about the smell of somebody's breath. Arlene Immerman got this from a Mike Seeger recording. Lovin Emma, Lovin’ Emma Would you think it unkind For me to sit by you And tell you my mind Your breath smells so sweet Like the dew on the vine Lovin’ Emma, Lovin’ Emma I wish you were mine My mind is to marry And never to part The first time I saw you You wounded my heart I’ll build me a cabin On the mountain so high So I can sit by you And tell you my mind Your breath smells so sweet Like the dew on the vine God bless you, Lovin’ Emma I wish you were mine
