When a maiden is wooed by a man His advances she frequently spurns In her anger one day She may send him away Then she's anxious until he returns Until he returns She provokes him as much as she can But she likes him to still persevere Oh, it's very remiss And the danger is this She may do it too often, I fear She may do it too often, I fear Once too often Time after time Doubtless his heart will soften But the day may arrive When she finds out, alack That her lover will leave her And never come back She's refused him just once too often
Then that maiden will sit there and sigh For the lesson is bitter indeed Now she's quite wide awake She can see her mistake And for pardon she's longing to plead She's longing to plead She has let all her chances pass by And the moral may clearly be seen For whoever you are It is better by far If you always will say what you mean If you always will say what you mean Once too often Time after time Doubtless his heart will soften But the day may arrive When she finds out, alack That her lover will leave her And never come back She's refused him just once too often Once too oftenTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
