Her heart for love vos on der pine,
Unci dot I like to see ;
Und all der limy I hoped dot heart
Vos on der pine for me,

1 keeps a butcher shop, you know,
Und in a stocking stout,
1 put avay my gold and bills,
Und no one gets him oudt.

If in der night some bank cashier
Goes skipping off mit cash,
I shleep so sound ;ts nefer vos,
Vhilc rich folks go to shmash.

I court dot vidder sixteen months.
Dot vidder she courts me.
Und vhen I says : “ Vill you be mine?”
She says ; “ You bet I ’ll be ■ ”

Ye vos engaged— oh ! blessed fact I
I squeeze dot dimpled hand ■
Her head upon my shoulder lays,
Shust like a bag of sand.

Before der vedding day vos set,1’
She vispers in mine ear,
I like to say I haf to use
Some cash, my Jacob, dear,

I owns dis house and two big farms,
Und ponds and railroad stock;
Und up in Yonkers I bosses
A grand big pecsncss block.
