LITTLE QUEENIE LEE.
Copyright, 1890, by M. Witmark & Sons.
Words by Arthur West. Music by Geo. Whitcar.
Once in my heart was hidden deep a secret that I intended to keep;
Walking one day in a deep, deep dell, in love with a fairy I fell;
Not such a fairy as books declare floating about in the desert air;
Solid, substantial, and you could see a fairy queen, for she
Chorus.
Is modest, fair and beautiful; her father keeps a farm;
And when she tries to smile, her eyes a serpent sure would charm;
When once you've seen my little queen, with me you would agree,
The finest girl in all the world is little Queenie Lee.
Once in my heart was hidden deep a secret that I intended to keep.
But as you're all friends I will tell you true-I know any thing I could trust to you.
The reason that I am dressed so gay, to-day has been fixed for our wedding day;
Her father will give the old farm to me when married we will be.
Chorus.
She's modest, fair and beautiful; her father keeps a farm;
And when she tries to smile, her eyes a serpent sure would charm;
When once you've seen my little queen, with me you would agree,
The finest girl in all the world is little Queenie Lee.
