88. DOWN IN THE VELLY. Tune: Special.
[ Music ]
The first time I met her she was dress all in green, All in green, All in green, Prettiest girl I've ever seen, Down in the valley where she followed me.
The next time I met her she was dressed all in grey All in grey, All in grey, Oh ! I'll ne'er forget that day Down in the valley where she followed me.
The third time I met her she was dressed all in mauve, All in mauve, All in mauve. Guess how my eyes did rove Down in the valley where she followed me.
The next time I met her she was dressed all in pink, All in pink, All in pink, Took her to the open air rink Down in the valley where she followed me.
The next time I met her she was dressed all in brown, All in brown, All in brown, On the grass did we sit down, Down in the valley where she followed me.
The next time I met her she was dressed all in blue, All in blue, All in blue, You should have seen us bill and coo Down in the valley where she followed me.
The next time I met her she was dress all in white, All in white, All in white. My ! -- I had an awful night Down in the valley where she followed me.
The next time I met her she was dressed all in yellow, All in yellow, All in yellow, Kissed by some other fellow Down in the valley where she followed me.
The next time I met her she was dressed all in scarlet, All in scarlet, All in scarlet, Just like a common harlot, Down in the valley where she followed me.
The next time I met her she was dressed all in red, All in red, All in red, Two little kiddies dead, Down in the valley where she followed me.
The last time I met her she was dressed all in black, All in black, All in black, Out on the other fellow's track, Down in the valley where she followed me.
Tune for Last Verse: "Farmer Giles."
Now this is the moral to all those who think: Don't take a strange girl to an open-air rink; Don't sit on the grass, as I've already said, Or may all your toubles be on your own head.
