SUCKING CIDER THROUGH A STRAW by ANONYMOUS

First Line: THE PRETTIEST GIRL / THAT I EVER SAW
Last Line: THROUGH A STRAW
Subject(s): CIDER;LOVE;MOTHERS-IN-LAW;
The prettiest girl
That ever I saw,
Was sucking cider
Through a straw.
I told that girl
I didn't see how
She sucked the cider
Through a straw.
And cheek by cheek
And jaw by jaw
We sucked that cider
Through that straw.
And all at once
That straw did slip;
I sucked some cider
From her lip.
And now I've got
Me a mother-in-law
From sucking cider
Through a straw.
