Kiss Little Joe for Me!

                      Teun- "Irish Mally, O,"

                      Lass, aw'm sorry aw's not wi' ye,
                      Fairly forced te be away,
                      Frae me little wife an' fam'ly,--
                      Hoo aw spend the varry day
                      Myeks us wundor, ay, an' wundor,
                      An' keep narvis as can be,
                      For aw'd like ye, an' aw's sartin
                      Ye'll kiss little Joe for me!

                      Korus.
                      When yor sittin be the fire,
                      Wi' the bairn upon yor knee,
                      Tell him that his fethur's cummin,
                      An' kiss little Joe for me!

                      Tell him that his fethur's cummin,
                      Tell him that he's cummin seun,
                      Then his bonny eyes 'ill glissen,
                      An' he'll goo! goo! full o' fun;
                      An' he'll think the ship ye've promised
                      Cummin in, he's sure te see,
                      An' he'll twist his lips se clivor,
                      If ye kiss him just for me!

                      For two fyeces myek impreshuns
                      On a litle bairney's mind,
                      An' it thinks ov a' relayshuns
                      That thor's nyen alive se kind
                      As its fethur an' its muther,
                      An' its eyes thor full o' glee,
                      When it sees them byeth asside him,--
                      So kiss little Joe for me!
