8-Bar Intro

Verse 1

WHEN I WAS A BOY MY MOTH-ER OFT-EN SAID TO ME,
GET MAR-RIED BOY AND SEE, HOW HAP-PY YOU WILL BE,
I HAVE LOOKED ALL O-VER, BUT NO GIRL-IE CAN I FIND,
WHO SEEMS TO BE JUST LIKE THE LIT-TLE GIRL I HAVE IN MIND.
I WILL HAVE TO LOOK A-ROUND UN-TIL THE RIGHT ONE I HAVE FOUND.

Verse 2

BY THE OLD MILL STREAM THERE SITS A COUP-LE OLD AND GRAY,
THOUGH YEARS HAVE ROLLED A-WAY, THEIR HEARTS ARE YOUNG AND GAY,
MOTH-ER DEAR LOOKS UP AT DAD WITH LOVE-LIGHT IN HER EYE,
HE STEALS A KISS, A FOND EM-BRACE, WHILE EV-'NING BREEZ-ES SIGH;

Chorus

I WANT A GIRL JUST LIKE THE GIRL THAT MAR-RIED DEAR OLD DAD,
SHE WAS A PEARL AND THE ON-LY GIRL THAT DAD-DY E-VER HAD.
A GOOD OLD FASH-IONED GIRL WITH HEART SO TRUE,
ONE WHO LOVES NO-BOD-Y ELSE BUT YOU
I WANT A GIRL JUST LIKE THE GIRL THAT MAR-RIED DEAR OLD DAD.
