I LOVE MY LOVE, by JAMES P. SAWYER
First Line: Every one thinks some face fairer
Last Line: On a bright one dollar bill.
Subject(s): Money
First Line: Every one thinks some face fairer
Last Line: On a bright one dollar bill.
Subject(s): Money
EVERY one thinks some face fairer
Than all others in the land,
Thinks this one alone is perfect,
Vows to her his heart and hand.
Then he sings in loudest praises
Of her wealth of golden hair,
Of her lips like ripest cherries,
She alone divinely fair.
But there's one that's quite forgotten,
One whose charms they fail to see;
Yet in my abject devotion
Fairest of the fair is she.
There's not one half so entrancing
Or so makes my poor heart thrill --
It is Martha Washington's picture
On a bright one dollar bill.
