Nettie Nettie oh she's prettyA
With her wreath of golden curlsB
None compare with charming NettieA
She's the prettiest of girlsB
Not her face alone is sweetestC
Nor her eyes the bluest blueD
But her figure is the neatestC
Of all forms I ever knewD
But she has a fault the greatestC
That a pretty girl could haveE
When she's looking the sedatistC
And pretending to be graveF
You discover 'spite of hidingG
What I feel constrained to tellH
That she knows she is a beautyC
Knows it knows it aye too wellH
May be when the bloom has vanishedC
Which we know in time it willI
And her foolish fancies banishedC
May be she'll be lovely stillI
For though Time may put his fingerJ
On her dainty fashioned faceK
There will still some beauty lingerJ
Round her form so full of graceK
And her heart the priceless treasureJ
Which so many long to winL
Still shall prove a fount of pleasureJ
To the love that enters inL
Pity 'tis that fairest blossomsM
Must in time fall from the treeC
Pity 'tis that snow white bosomsM
Must yield up their symmetryC
Brightest eyes will lose their love lightC
Fairest cheeks grow pale and grayN
Golden locks will lose their sunlightC
And the loveliest limbs decayN
But whilst life is left we hungerJ
For a taste of earthly blissM
But the man need seek no longerJ
Who can call sweet Nettie hisM
