A little maiden climbed an old man's knee

Begs for a story do uncle please

Why are you single why do you roam

Have you no sweetheart have you no home

I had a sweetheart years years ago

Where she is not wed you will soon know

Leads to my story I'll tell it all

I believe her faith then after the ball

After the ball is over

After the break of dawn

After the dance is leaving

After the stars are gone

Many your heart is aching

If you could read them all

Many the fontal that have vanished

After the ball

After the ball is over

After the break of dawn

After the dance is leaving

After the stars are gone

Many your heart is aching

If you could read them all

Many the fontal that have vanished

After the ball
