[Full title: "Before I Go and Marry, I Will Have a Talk with You"]



[1st verse:]

Jealous little maid was sadly crying

Crying 'cause her little heart was hurt

Told her fellow there was no denying

She saw him flirt

Fellow whispers, "Let your heart be cheery

Won't you let me dry those tears away?

Be your own sweet self and cuddle near me

There is something sweet I want to say"



[chorus:]

I may take a walk with Dolly

I may smile at pretty May

I may have a talk with Molly

Or with Polly, or even Fay

I may flirt with charming Carrie

As another boy would do

But before I go and marry

I will have a talk with you



[2nd verse:]

"When I noticed something sweet in Molly

That's the time I loved your baby smile

When I saw how cute and neat was Dolly

I liked your style

Fellows raved to me about a prize, dear

Meaning Carrie's pretty eyes of blue

So I went and gazed into her eyes, dear

That's the day I fell in love with you
