| How's the world been using you | B |
| Want your pipe it's in the jar | C |
| Think I might be looking blue | B |
| Maud's been breaking off with me | D |
| Fact see here I've got the ring | E |
| That's the note she sent it in | F |
| Read it soothing sort of thing | E |
| Jack you know I write sometimes | G |
| Must have read some things of mine | H |
| Well I thought I'd just send Maud | I |
| Something for a valentine | H |
| So I ground some verses out | J |
| In the softest kind of style | K |
| Full of love and that you know | L |
| Bothered me an awful while | K |
| Quite a heavy piece of work | M |
| So when I had got them done | N |
| Why I thought them much too good | O |
| Just to waste that way on one | N |
| Jack I told you didn't I | P |
| All about that black eyed girl | Q |
| Up in Stratford last July | P |
| Oh you know you saw her curl | Q |
| Well old fellow she's the one | N |
| That this row is all about | J |
| For I sent her who'd have thought | R |
| Maud would ever find it out | J |
| Those same verses word for word | S |
| Hang it man you needn't roar | T |
| Splendid joke well so I thought | R |
| No don't think so any more | T |
| Yesterday you know it rained | U |
| I'd been up late at a ball | V |
| Didn't know what else to do | B |
| Went up and made Maud a call | V |
| Found some other girl there too | B |
| They were playing a duet | W |
| Fred my cousin Nelly Deane | X |
| Yes Jack there was my brunette | W |
| You should just have seen me Jack | A |
| Now old fellow please don't laugh | Y |
| I feel bad about it fact | Z |
| And I really can't stand chaff | Y |
| Well I tried to talk to Maud | I |
| There was Nell though sitting by | P |
| Every now and then she'd laugh | Y |
| Sure I can't imagine why | P |
| Maud would read that beastly poem | A2 |
| Nell's eyes said in just one glance | B2 |
| Wont I make you pay for this | C2 |
| If I ever get the chance | B2 |
| Some one came and rang the bell | D2 |
| Just a note for Nell by post | E2 |
| Jack I saw my monogram | F2 |
| I'd have rather seen a ghost | E2 |
| Yes her verses I suppose | G2 |
| That her folks had sent them down | H2 |
| Couldn't get up there you know | L |
| Till she'd left and come to town | H2 |
| Nelly looked them quickly through | B |
| Laughed by Jove I thought she'd choke | I2 |
| Maud he'll kill me dear oh dear | J2 |
| Read that isn't it a joke | I2 |
| Maud glanced through them sank right down | H2 |
| On the sofa hid her face | K2 |
| Crying not much laughing Jack | A |
| Don't think she's a hopeless case | K2 |
| I just grabbed my hat and left | L2 |
| Only wish I'd gone before | T |
| How they laughed I heard them Jack | A |
| Till I got outside the door | T |
| There confession's done me good | O |
| I can never win her back | A |
| So I'll calmly let her slide | M2 |
| Pass the ash cup will you Jack | A |
