The "bright eyed doll" version is actually a version from 1960 by two dutch brothers who went by the name "The Blue Diamonds". I'm not sure if they made up the new lyrics or if they used the lyrics of a 1902 version. Here is a video of my band First Take singing these lyrics in our own arrangement:

Sorry for pimping my band...
