  • 1.
    Yes! The land we love
    Is a land of pretty girls,
    In grand variety;
    With their many colored eyes
    ...

    The Blue Eye will do if the courting is through
    And the way of the marriage is sunny,
    And it helps in the fun till the sweet life is done
    If the girl brings a mint of good money.
