It’s not easy to find A young woman as caring and kind As she’s witty and smart So pretty and sweet That her name makes my heart skip a beat.īut I’m not ready to admit defeat And surrender my search! Any girl between fifteen and thirty Will get me into the church. I have sailed round the world But have not found a girl to compare, Black, white or Asian. Her gentleness proved to be weakness when put to the test!Īs long as I live I can never forgive her For giving in to persuasion.
