ALWAYS TAKE A GIRL NAMED "DAISY" ('CAUSE DAISIES WON'T TELL)
(Geo. W. Meyer / Alfred Bryan / Sam M. Lewis)(1913)




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 another
Brother told the preacher and
the pracher went and tolled a wedding bell

Never take a walk with Mary
Never take a walk with Sue
Never take a walk with Maude 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

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 winked 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

Never take a walk with Mary
Never take a walk with Sue
Never take a walk with Maude or Carrie
That's the kind of girl you'll have to marry
