Happy Little Country Girl 21 May 1913 lyrics

PLAY IRVING BERLIN Happy Little Country Girl 21 May 1913 video 1st verse:]
I know a girl
Sweet little pearl
Doesn`t know a thing about the city whirl
Lives on a farm
Where nature`s arm
Wraps around her all day
Early to bed
Early to rise
Keeps the light of Heaven shining in her eyes
Happily she spends the hours
Among butterflies and flow`rs

[1st chorus:]
Happy, happy, happy, little country girl
Much too good for any Duke or Earl
Simple dress and ten cent ribbon round her curl
She`s a beautiful lady
Ruben lover loves her to her finger tips
Loves her kisses just like honey drips
He doesn`t taste a drugstore on her ruby lips
Happy little country girl

[2nd verse:]
Birds on their way
Linger to stay
Long enough to sing to her a fond `Good day`
As she goes by
Roses all sigh
How they envy her cheeks
Early each day
Crowing away
Mister Rooster wakes her and he seems to say
`Dress yourself, for goodness sake!
We`ll all be glad when you awake`

[2nd chorus:]
Happy, happy, happy, little country girl
Much too good for any Duke or Earl
Simple dress and ten cent ribbon round her curl
She`s a beautiful lady
Nine o`clock her tired eyes refuse to peep
Then into her cozy bed she`ll creep
She doesn`t miss a minute of her beauty sleep
Happy little country girl
