Give Him One More as He Goes

My sweetheart is a shy little miss
And one I fondly a 5 dore
And 1 when you ask her 4 for a kiss
She'll 5 give you just one and no 1 more

Refrain:She'll give you just one and no more
She'll give you just one and no more
And when you ask her for a kiss
She'll give you just one and no more

Her dad was feelin' old man
He always had a feelin' for me
I can tell you when this feelin' began
When his daughter I first went to see

I was bidding my sweetheart good night
In the usual manner you know
When a voice from the house said, sic him touse
And give him one more as he goes.

It was over the garden wall
In a manner I'll tell you not slow
He exclaimed with a swear and his foot smote the air
And I'll give him one more as he goes.
