Though her shoes were number nine
Herring boxes without topses
Sandals were for Clementine

Drove the horses to the water

Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine

Ruby lips above the water

Blowing bubbles soft and fine
But alas, I was no swimmer

Oh he promised to love me, he promised to love

To cherish me always all others above
I woke from my dream and my idol was clay
My passion for loving had vanished away

Oh he taught me to love him, he called me his flower

A blossom to cheer him through life's weary hour
But now he has gone and left him alone
The wild flowers to weep and the wild birds to moan

I'll dance and I'll sing and my life shall be gay

I'll charm every heart in the crowd I survey
Though my heart now is breaking, he shall never know
How his name makes me tremble, my pale cheeks to glow

I'll dance and I'll sing and my life shall be gay

I'll banish this weeping, drive troubles away
I'll live yet to see him, regret this dark hour
When he won and neglected his frail wildwood flower
