Yes The land we loveA
Is a land of pretty girlsB
In grand varietyC
With their many colored eyesD
And their multi colored curlsB
They'll steal thy heart from theeC
-
If you travel in the NorthE
One will gleam in glory forthE
With her blue eyes O so blueF
And her flash of golden hairG
Will be flirting in the airG
While entrancing all the soul in youF
Oho My Boy OhoH
-
Always for your weal and never for your woeI
Your little heart will gallop on the goI
And it will not give you restJ
Within your manly breastJ
Till you land yourself in toto at her toeI
Oho My Boy OhoH
-
If you travel in the SouthK
You will find a rosy mouthK
And a black eye O so blackL
And some strands of raven hairG
Will purloin your heart just thereG
And you'll never get the poor thing backL
Oho My Boy Oho EtcM
-
If you travel in the EastN
Your dear soul will have a feastN
On a sweet eye O so sweetO
And a most seductive curlP
Will there give your heart a twirlP
That will fling you at two queenly feetO
Oho My Boy Oho EtcM
-
If you travel in the WestJ
One shy glance will pierce your breastJ
From a bright eye O so brightQ
And an auburn heaven of hairG
Will so glorify the airG
You'll surrender all your soul at sightQ
Oho My Boy OhoH
Always for your weal and never for your woeI
Your little heart will gallop on the goI
And it will not give you restJ
Within your manly breastJ
Till you land yourself in toto at her toeI
Oho My Boy OhoH
-
Thus the land we loveA
Is a land of pretty girlsB
In grand varietyC
With their many colored eyesD
And their multi colored curlsB
They'll steal thy heart from theeC
