LOVE AMONG BIG NOSES
Tune- "Love Among the Roses."
'Dwas on a Vinter evening,
I dink 'dwas de afdernoon,
I zaw a man und voman
In a lager pier saloon;
Dey vas eading kraut and sweiter kase.
And as I bassed dem pye.
De man durned round, und looked of me,
Mit.a dark, plue, bully glass eye;
His nose vas apout dwelve inches long,
Und red just like do rozes;
Und bers vas just apout de zame,
'Dwas love among big nozes
Chorus.
I dont like to tole you, but I dink I vill,
Of lager pier dey drank dere I'll;
Dey vas sitting near a foundain,
Vere de muskeedler reboses,
Dev sat und valked, and kissed und dalked,
'Dwas love among big nozes.
I zaw a nose next evening,
I looked,' und it vas hers,
She vas standing on de sidevalk
A zelling shoe lazers;
She laughed as I vent pye her,
Und at her I did stare,
Yen a man game up, hit me of my mout,
Und gommenced to pull my hair;
Ven he let go my mad got up,
Ash you may well subbose,
I durned apout. hit dem bodh of de mout,
By Tam! I broke dose nozes.-Chorus.
A boliceman game up quickly,
Und took us to der jail;
He pud dem in der brison,
But led me oud on bail;
Next tav dey dook us 'fore de shudge,
Und f told him de gase,
He said dat he led us go dat dime,
Of ve vould geep de beace;
Ven dey mate ub, day married now,
Und lie's zelling old glotheses,
But I gant't forget, ven firsd I met,
Dose overcrone big nozes.-Chorus.
