OLD SALT PORK AND BEANS.
Copyright, 1883, by Henry Morse.
Words and Music by Henry Morse.
Oh, the fairest maiden I've seen.
She was fond of pork and beans,
There I was looking while she was cooking
Old salt pork and beans.
Chorus.
Old salt pork and beans,
Old salt pork and beans-
Then I was looking while she was cooking
Old salt pork and beans.
Then my love was there,
There my maid I've seen,
There she was cooking, while I was looking,
Old salt pork and beans.-Chorus.
Then she said, "Come in;"
"No, I must go to Lynn,"
Then you must not be looking while I am cooking
Old salt pork and beans. " -Chorus.
"Do not go to Lynn,
There where the tide comes In,
Then you can be looking while I am cooking
Old salt pork and beans. " -Chorus.
Then you must love me well,
There is no one in the room can tell;
You must not say no, for I won't let you go
(All Together.)
'Till you have some pork and beans,
'Till you have some pork and beans,
'Till you have some pork and beans.-Chorus.
