My Little Girl
Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis; William Dillon; Albert Von Tilzer



I write these lines to tell you that I'm sorry I Left home
because I'm all alone, why did you let me roam
Some one put the jinx on me, I'm up against it strong
I'm out of work and so I wrote a song 
the first verse dear is very sweet, because it speaks of you
I'm sending you the chorus, read it through

The second verse is not complete, I cannot rhyme the part
That goes with aching heart, but I was never smart you know 
that the chorus is the part that must be heard
and now I've got a job to rhyme that word 
now if this song should make a hit, I'll marry you in June
and if it don't there'll be no honeymoon

My little girl you know I love you and I long for you each day
my little girl I'm dreaming of you though you're many miles away 
I see the lane down in wildwood where you promised to be true 
my little girl I know you're waiting and I'm coming back to you
