Im the Governors Only Son
Copyright, 1877, by E. H. Harding.
My name is George Adolphus Brown,
A gentleman of fashion;
The ladies' most devoted slave,
I'm full of the tender passion.
My hands with toil I never soil.
And ev'ry care I shun,
The old folks think the world of me,
I'm the governor's only son.
Chorus.
I'm the governor's only son,
I'm festive and I'm free;
At home I am the baby.
And my parents dote on me.
I'm a favorite with the girls,
I give them lots of fun;
I'm quite a pet, and don't forget
I'm the governor's only son.
I cultivate a lofty style,
I drive a horse and carriage,
With some fair creature by my side,
But never think of marriage.
They say, "I ought to settle down,
When some sweetheart I've won,"
But there's a score of girls that sigh
For the governor's only son.-Chorus.
I drink the finest brands of wine,
And make my friends all jolly;
I love the midnight hour of joy,
Though some may think it folly.
I never want for cash to spend, -
I go it while I'm young,
I laugh ha! hal and sing ta! ta!
I'm the governor's only son.-Chorus.
