MY frand, you have been kind
To me een manny way.
You tal me I weell find
Da gooda wife som' day;
"Som' girl weell com' along,"
You say, "an' smile on you --
Dat's her!" But som'theeng's wrong;
Eet ain'ta comin' true.

I am afraid I need
Som' othra kind of sign
Dat I can easy read
An' know da girl ees mine.
Eef only dere would be
Som' seemple kind of treeck
For know she's mash weeth me
I sure would grab her queeck!

Eh? Sure, you bat my life!
Dere's som' have smiled; but w'en
I ask: "You be my wife?"
Dey start to smile agen.
You theenk dat pleasa me
An' mak' me glad an' proud?
Ah! no, my frand; you see,
Dey smile too blama loud!
