1.’Tis very well to smile-now,But you gave me such a fright,When I missed you,darling Dolly,In the middle of the night.
2.I thought we played together,And you fell into a stream;Yet I said-just half awaking-“‘Tis nothing but a dream.”
3.For safe upon nay pillow Lies her curly golden hair.“Then I reached my hand to touch you,But I couldn’t find you there.
4.I felt so sad and lonely That I cried,but all in vain;So to see if I could find you,I went off to sleep again.
5.Now,fancy!in the morning There you were,all safe and right;And nurse said,“Here‘s poor Dolly,Been upon the floor all night!”
6.Your pretty curls are tangled,They were nice and smooth before;So promise,Dolly darling,You will tumble out no more!
