VILLIKINS AND HIS DINAH

Now [C] Dina was a [G7] walking her [C]garden one day {walliking, gardin}
Her papa came [D7]to her and [G]thus he did say {'er papa}
Go [Am]dress yourself [Em]Dina in [F]gorgeous [C]array {gorgeeus}
And get you a [G7]husband both [C]gallant and gay {git, husiband bofe, galliant}
With a too-ra li-[G7]oora li-[C]oora li ay.

Oh papa Oh papa I've not made up my mind
And to marry just yet why I don't feel inclined
To you my large fortune I'll gladly give o'er {fortitune, ower }
If you'll let me live single a year or two more {sinigle mower }
With....

Go go boldest daughter the parent replied (parient }
If you won't consent to be this here young mans bride {'ere}
I'll give your large fortune to the nearest of kin
And you shan't reap the benefit of one single pin
With.....

As Villikens was a walking the garden around {araand}
He spied his dear Dinah lying dead on the ground Graand}
And a cup of cold pizen it lay by her side
With a billet-doux what stated 'twas by pizen she died {wiv wot }
With....

He kissed her cold corpus a thousand times o'er {corpius, fousand }
And called her his Dinah though she was no more
Then swallowed the pizen like a lover so brave {luvver }
Now Villikens and his Dinah both lie in one grave
With...

Now all you young maidens take warning by her
Never not by no means nohow disobey your governor {guv'ner}
And all you young fellows mind who you claps eyes on
Think of Villikins and his Dinah and the cup of cold pizen. {fink }
