The Kid: In a little rustic village
Lived a rustic village belle.
She was coy and oh, so simple!
That is near as you could tell.
She refused a score of suitors
Then she met a certain swain
Who called her his "little sister"
And was asked to call again.
Such a loving couple were they those two,
With his eyes so tender
And hers so true.
All the village mothers would point with pride
At this brother with his sister ever by his side.
Such a loving couple were they those two,
With his eyes so tender
And hers so true.
All the village mothers would point with pride
At this brother with his sister ever by his side.
   
  Soon the busy village gossips
Spread the tidings far and wide
That this fellow's "little sister"
Was about to become his bride.
Then the other fellows hustled
And before the week was through,
Ev'ry one of them adopted a little sister too.
Such a loving couple were they those two,
With his eyes so tender
And hers so true.
All the town remembered the tale through life
Of this brother with the sister who became his wife.
Such a loving couple were they those two,
With his eyes so tender
And hers so true.
All the town remembered the tale through life
Of this brother with the sister who became his wife.
