Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEFFGGHI JJCCDDKK BBLLMMNN EEDDOOBB| Oh little girl with eyes of brown | A |
| And smiles that fairly light the town | A |
| I wonder if you really know | B |
| Just why it is we love you so | B |
| And why with all the little girls | C |
| With shining eyes and tangled curls | C |
| That throng and dance this big world through | D |
| Our hearts have room for only you | D |
| - | |
| Since other little girls are gay | E |
| And laugh and sing and romp in play | E |
| And all are beautiful to see | F |
| Why should you mean so much to me | F |
| And why should Mother day and night | G |
| Make you her source of all delight | G |
| And always find in your caress | H |
| Her greatest sum of happiness | I |
| - | |
| Oh there's a reason good for this | J |
| You laughing little bright eyed miss | J |
| In all this town with all its girls | C |
| With shining eyes and sun kissed curls | C |
| If we should search it through and through | D |
| We'd find not one so fair as you | D |
| And none however fair of face | K |
| Within our hearts could take your place | K |
| - | |
| For one glad day not long ago | B |
| God sent you down to us below | B |
| And said that you were ours to keep | L |
| To guard awake and watch asleep | L |
| And ever since the day you came | M |
| No other child has seemed the same | M |
| No other smiles are quite so fair | N |
| As those which happily you wear | N |
| - | |
| We seem to live from day to day | E |
| To hear the things you have to say | E |
| And just because God gave us you | D |
| We prize the little things you do | D |
| Though God has filled this world with flowers | O |
| We like you best because you're ours | O |
| In you our greatest joys we know | B |
| And that is why we love you so | B |
