BEAUTY WAS A LITTLE GIRL.
SONG.—Miss Frances.
Beauty was a little girl,—
Heigho! heigho!
Pure and lovely as a pearl,—
Heigho! heigho!
She mov'd so meek, and look'd so shy,
None, then, saw mischief in her eye,
Nor dream'd that youths for her would die,—
Heigho! heigho!
Heigho! heigho!
Pure and lovely as a pearl,—
Heigho! heigho!
She mov'd so meek, and look'd so shy,
None, then, saw mischief in her eye,
Nor dream'd that youths for her would die,—
Heigho! heigho!

Beauty's now a woman grown,—
Heigho! heigho!
Looking like a rose full-blown,—
Heigho! heigho!
Weaving still for hearts a snare,
She seems to cry, with saucy air,
Come, and kiss me,—if you dare,—
Heigho! heigho!
Heigho! heigho!
Looking like a rose full-blown,—
Heigho! heigho!
Weaving still for hearts a snare,
She seems to cry, with saucy air,
Come, and kiss me,—if you dare,—
Heigho! heigho!
Beauty now will soon grow old,—
Heigho! heigho!
In the old maids' list enroll'd,—
Heigho! heigho!
Swains no longer, then, will sue:
What will, then, poor Beauty do?
I'm sure I cannot tell,—Can you?—
Heigho! heigho!
Heigho! heigho!
In the old maids' list enroll'd,—
Heigho! heigho!
Swains no longer, then, will sue:
What will, then, poor Beauty do?
I'm sure I cannot tell,—Can you?—
Heigho! heigho!
