Be Quiet, Or I'll Scream - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Be Quiet, or I'll Scream. 
One bright mid-summer eve, with Harry by my side, As we went strolling forth, I fancied that he sighed; His arm around my waist-with joy his eyes did beam-He asked a kiss; say I, "be quiet, or I'll scream." 
We reached my cottage door, he bade me there good-bye-My heart rebuked me then, I thought of his deep sigh; So, smiling at my beau, who rather glum did seem, Says I, "love, take a kiss, I never meant to scream." 
We tread the same old path, though years I've been his wife, Our days glide on in bliss, we know no care or strife: And when we reach one spot, as bright the moon doth beam, He laughs, And so do I, 'twas there I said I'd scream. 
His heart is all my own, and his 6weet kisses, too; He's just as constant now as when he came to woo; The walks are just the same, the moon as bright doth beam; And if he failed to kiss, oh I dear, how I should scream.
