Come all young men who've been in love and sympathize with me,
For I have loved as fair a maid as ever you did see.
Her age it was but seventeen, a figure fair and tall,
She was a handsome creature and she wore a waterfall.

The first time that I met her, I never shall forget,
I'd slipped into a dry goods store some handkerchiefs to get.
She stood behind the counter dressed up just like a doll,
I never saw a face so fair or such a waterfall.

'Twas at a picnic party, I met her after that,
I quickly introduced myself; we had a pleasant chat.
Though many other girls were there, yet none of them at all
Could dance with me except the girl who wore the waterfall.

I saw her home, we marched along, we said we'd never part,
And when she asked me to come in I found I'd lost my heart;
While sitting there I thought I heard some footsteps in the hall,
All sorts of colors turned the girl who wore the waterfall.

A great big fellow six feet high came stalking in the room,
And when he saw me sitting there at once began to fume.
His eyes so hard, his face so harsh, it did my heart appallĀ¬
"This is my husband," said the girl who wore the waterfall.

Before I'd time to say a word the fellow at me flew,
And while the maiden held me down he beat me black and blue.
When I got U? I found I'd lost watch, money, chain and all-
I never since go near a girl who wears a waterfall.
