She's not like an empressA
And crowned with raven hairB
She is not pert an bonnyC
Nor winsome wee an fairB
But when a man s in troubleD
And darkest shadows fallE
She s just a little womanF
I d back against them allE
I d back against them allE
When friends on rocks are hurledG
Oh she s the little womanF
I d back against the worldG
-
She has her little temperH
As all the world can knowI
When things are running smoothlyC
She sometimes lets it goI
But when the sea is stormyC
And clouds are like a pallJ
Oh she s the little womanF
I d back against them allE
-
I d back against the worldG
When darkest shadows fallE
Oh she s the little womanF
I d back against them allE
-
She s had to stand at businessK
Till she was fit to dropL
She has to count the penniesM
When she goes to the shopL
She has no land or terraceK
Nor money in the bankN
And save what s in her ownselfO
No influence nor rankN
-
No influence nor rankN
While darker shadows fallE
Oh she s a little womanF
I d back against them allE
-
It will not last for everH
As old time goes his roundsP
Where now she counts the penniesM
She yet shall count the poundsP
And those who laugh to see herH
Or pass her unawaresQ
Shall stand beside her motor carR
And bow her up the stairsQ
-
And bow her up the stairsQ
When foes on rocks are hurledG
For she s the little womanF
I ll back against the worldG
-
Or may I slave in prisonsS
In mental miseryC
And no one write a letterH
And no one visit meC
And may I rot with paupersT
A ditch without a stoneU
My work be never quotedV
And my grave be never knownU
-
My work be never quotedV
When friends on rocks are hurledG
Ah she s a little womanF
I d back against the worldG
