How I love you, baby dear, Sister Rosamond! I must kiss you, I must hug you, I must be your little beau, To protect you Or to rescue From the faults of friend or foe. I must grow more wise and graceful Every way, That I may be true and helpful For the day When, as lovely fair young woman, You will need my stay. Darling Rosebud, How I love you, sister dear! Oh, I will be good and pure, Striving always to endure What will make me honest, kind, Generous, manly, strong in mind, Worthy of my Rosebud. Darling Rosebud, Sweetest Rosebud, How I love you, sister dear! |
