When first I met my darling daisies
Down by the garden wall
I was walking along the street so shady
I was going for a twilight call

   I love to sing and dance among the roses
   Down by the garden wall
   Tis there I'd like to meet my daisies
   When I make a twilight call

She was sleeping in a bed of roses
Dreaming of the by and by
While the little birds around were singing
Up above the branches so high

If you want to see a bright eyed beauty
Bright as the stars that shine
Just come and go with me some evening
To see this pretty girl of mine
