Subject: Lyr Add: THE DAUGHTER OF ROSIE O'GRADY
Here are the verses to "Daughter." There is a dedication by the authors: "Dedicated to our friend, Maude Nugent, author of 'Sweet Rosie O'Grady'".

THE DAUGHTER OF ROSIE O'GRADY
Words by Monty C. Brice, music by Walter Donaldson. ©1918.

1. Yesterday while out a-walkin' I met a dear little girl.
Somehow we started a-talkin'. My brain was all in a whirl.
She said she came from old Killarney, so I started in to quiz.
I got a surprise that opened my eyes, for who do you think she is?

CHORUS: She's the daughter of Rosie O'Grady,
A regular old-fashioned girl.
She isn't crazy for diamond rings,
Silkens and satins and fancy things.
She's just a sweet little lady,
And when you meet her you'll see,
Why I'm glad I caught her,
The daughter of Rosie O'Grady!

2. I'm goin' to ask her to marry. I wonder what she will say.
I know that if I should tarry, someone will steal her away.
I've got the ring to fit her finger, and if she will name the day,
Imagine my pride when she is my bride, and I hear the neighbors say: CHORUS

Alice,
Montana

P.s. The tune is different from Rosie O'Grady.
