For 'Mabel Brown' I never cared	A
My rightful name by birth	B
But when the name of Smith I shared	A
I seemed to own the earth	B
I wrote it without 'y' or 'e'	C
Plain 'Mrs Jack Smith' suited me	D
	-
My happiest hour as I look back	E
On times of great content	F
Was when folks called me 'Mrs Jack '	-
Though 'Mrs Smith' was meant	F
It was the pleasure of my life	G
To hear them say 'That's Jack Smith's wife '	-
	-
One day I joined a club They said	H
That I must speak or write	I
So I did both I wrote and read	H
A speech one fateful night	I
It made a hit but proved alack	E
A death blow to poor 'Mrs Jack '	-
	-
As 'Mrs Mabel Smith' I'm known	J
Throughout my town and State	K
My heart feels widowed and alone	J
The case is intricate	L
Though darling Jack is mine the same	M
I am divorced somehow in name	M
	-
Just 'Mabel Smith' I can endure	N
It leaves the world in doubt	O
But 'Mrs ' makes the marriage sure	N
Yet leaves the husband out	O
It sounds like Reno or the tomb	P
And always fills me full of gloom	P
	-
They say the honours are all mine	Q
Well I would trade the pack	E
For one sweet year in which to shine	Q
Again as 'Mrs Jack '	-
That gave to life a core a pith	R
Not found by 'Mrs Mabel Smith '	-
	-
For one suggests the chosen mate	K
And all the joy love brings	S
And one suggests a delegate	K
To federated things	S
I'm built upon the old time plan	T
I like to supplement a man	T
	-
If on each point of glory's star	U
My name shone like a pearl	V
I'd feel a pleasure greater far	U
In being 'Jack Smith's girl '	-
It is ridiculous I know	W
But then you see I'm fashioned so	W
