Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFE EEGG EEHH| Why do I love my sweetheart Well | A |
| I really never tried to tell | A |
| I love her mayhap for her smile | B |
| So innocent and free from guile | B |
| - | |
| Perhaps I love her for her mien | C |
| So calmly cheerful and serene | C |
| Or it may be her silken hair | D |
| First caught and tangled Cupid there | D |

| And since I came to analyse | E |
| Her chiefest beauty is her eyes | E |
| Her mouth too that is Cupid's bow | F |
| Perhaps that's why I love her so | E |
| - | |
| And now I think of it her voice | E |
| First made my rusty heart rejoice | E |
| And then her hand 'tis my belief | G |
| It quite outvies the lily leaf | G |
| - | |
| Perhaps I love her for her ways | E |
| That blend in with the sunny days | E |
| Tush to be brief and plain with you | H |
| I love her just because I do | H |
