They parted but a year before she never thought he'd come
She stammered blushed hel;d out her hand and called him Mister Gum
How could he know that all the while she onged to murmur John
He called her Miss Le Brook and asked how she was gettingon
They parted but a year before they loved each other well
But he'd been to the city and came back such a swell
They longed to meet in fone embrace they hungerered for a kiss
But Mary called him Mister and the farm boy called her Miss
He stood and leaned against the door a stupid chap was he
And when she aske if he'd come in and have a cup of tea
He looked to left he looked to right and then he glanced behind
And slowly doffed that hat of his and said he didn't mind
She glanced at him at times and coughed and awkward little cough
He stared at anything but her and said I must be off
That evenning he went riding north a sad and lonely ride
She locked herself inside her rrom and sat down there and cried
They parted but a year before they loved each other well
But she was such a contry girl and he was such a swell
They longed to meet in fone embrace they hungerered for a kiss
But Mary called him Mister and the farm boy called her Miss
Mary called him Mister and the far boy called her Miss
