First Line: If ever I go singing a song
Last Line: To cheer my friends and me.
Subject(s): Happiness; Joy; Delight
If ever I go singing a song
I pray that I may sing
Not quite too cheerlessly of life
And love and everything.
And if ever I go printing a book
I pray that it may be
A book of gentle, merry songs
To cheer my friends and me.
