VERSE 01: Handsome Harry, handsome Harry Thomas,/He was sued, yes, sued for breach of promise,/He took Mary walking through the dell,/And said “Now don’t you dare to tell,/Mary went right home and told her mother,/Ma told Pa and Pa then told her brother,/Brother told the preacher and the preacher went and tolled a wedding bell.
CHORUS: Never take a walk with Mary,/Never take a walk with Sue/Never take a walk with Maud or Carrie,/That’s the kind of girl you’ll have to marry,/If you take a girl out walking,/Down a little shady dell,/Always take a girl named Daisy/’Cause daisies won’t tell.
VERSE 02: Harry’s married life was pure and simple,/Till he met a girlie with a dimple/She said “Dear I’m not acquainted here I just came down from Beaver Fall,/Harry wink and said/Why silk and satin,/To this girl would be like Greek and Latin,/Harry felt like fainting when he missed his little dollar Ingersol.
