I WANT A GRIL
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I was a boy my mother often said to me
Get married boy and see how happy you will be
I have looked all over, but no girlie can I find
Who seems to be just like the little girl I have in mind
I will have to look around until the right one I have found
I want a good girl, just like the girl that married dear old Dad
She was a pearl and the only girl that Daddy ever had
A good old fashioned girl with heart so true
One who loves nobody else but you
I want a good girl, just like the girl that married dear old Dad
By the old mill stream there sit a couple old and gray
Though years have rolled away, their hearts are young today
Mother dear looks up at Dad with love light in her eye
He steals a kiss, a fond embrace, while ev'ning breezes sigh
They're as happy as can be, so that's the kind of love for me
I want a good girl, just like the girl that married dear old Dad
She was a pearl and the only girl that Daddy ever had
A good old fashioned girl with heart so true
One who loves nobody else but you
I want a good girl, just like the girl that married dear old Dad
