Cat. #0213 (MFH #35) - As sung by Mrs. Laura McDonald, Springdale, Arkansas on July 23, 1958
VERSE 1
The boys are very pretty
And sweet as they can be
I know I love them dearly
And are'nt you just like me
VERSE 2
They make us charming sweethearts
To that, I will confess
But pin them down to business
An' th boys won't stand th test
VERSE 3
Th boys won't do to trust, girls
Th boys won't do to trust
They'll do to love and look at
But th boys won't do to trust
VERSE 4
Your sweetheart comes to see you
And says, that he'll adore
He'll write you charming letters
And sign them, only yours
VERSE 5
Now, I suppose you wonder
And ask me in surprise
How one, so young as I am
Could be so wondrous wise
VERSE 6
Well, now I hate to tell you
But I suppose I must
I learned it by experience
Such boys won't do to trust
