This song has been popular in Alabama but apparently not elsewhere. Owens (Texas Folk Songs, p. 164)prints on stanza (roughly the second of my A) and a parallel chorus. I have not found the piece elsewhere.

"Such a Happy Girl Am I," sung by Mrs. Mary Drake, Huntsville, Madison County, 1953. She claims her mother wrote it.

Such a happy girl am I and I'll tell you the reason why.
It's because I'm engaged to such a dear.
He comes nearly ev'ry day and when he goes away,
These words he always whispers in my car:

Chorus:
"Goodnight, Darling, I must leave you,
One more kiss before I go.
I'll be here tomorrow night.
If I can't come I will write
Just a word or two to let my darling know.

Oh, he has teeth as white as pearls and such darling little curls.
His name is Harry Martin.....
He's the pleasure of my life, for I'm soon to be his wife,
And these words I'll no longer have to hear:

Oh, young ladies, when you find a young lover true and kind,
You cannot be more happy, I am sure,
For it's nice to have a beau who will love and pet you so,
And kiss you when he leaves you at the door.

To the gentlemen I say, "When obliged to go away
From the lady that is dearest to your heart,
You had best remember this, she'll expect a sweeter kiss,
And a word or two like this."
