Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thou sweet, thou grand
Wouldst kiss me pretty
Wouldst hold my hand
Both thine eyes are cute too
What they do to me?
Hear me holler I choose
I'd feel so rich
In a hut for two
Two rooms and kitchen
I'm sure would do
Give me just a plot of
Not a lot of land
And thou swell, thou witty
Thou grand
Thou swell, thou witty
Thou sweet, thou grand
Wouldst kiss me pretty
Wouldst hold my hand
Both thine eyes are cute too
What they do to me?
Hear me holler I choose
A sweet lollapaloosa in thee
I'd feel so rich
In a hut for two
Two rooms and kitchen
I'm sure would do
Give me just a plot of
Not a lot of land
And thou swell, thou witty
Thou grand
