ANNIE ROONEY'S JOE. Copyright, 1890, by Harding Bros. Words and Music by J. P, Skelly. 
My name is Joseph Dennessy, you've heard of my sweetheart; We've travelled long together, and I know we ne'er shall part; There's something in her happy smile that wins me as I go, And I am not ashamed to say: I'm Annie Rooney's Joe. 
Chorus. I'm Annie Rooney's Joe, and everybody knows it; Let her heart feel Joy or woe. from mine own none can depose it; I know she thinks of me while far away I go, And in her heart, tho' we're apart, I'm Annie Rooney's Joe. 
She occupies a mansion fair of purity and love, And in my dreams she's ever there, like an angel from above; Although the is not rich and grand, and what she does not know Might fill books by the dozen, still I am Annie Rooney's Joe.- Chorus. 
The same sweet Annie Rooney has a grievance for her woes-When rainy weather comes about she feels her "corny toes "'; Sometimes she's not accessible unto her bully beau. But all the same she knows that I am Annie Rooney's Joe.-Chorus.
