Dear Mayme, I Love You

[1st verse:] Dear Mayme I want to explain Why I sat down to write you this note Gee, Mayme, I do feel ashamed It's the first letter I've ever wrote

There's some little something way down in my heart I haven't the nerve to say. But sooner or later I must make a start So it might as well be today

[Refrain:] I love you I love you I love you, Mayme I'd love to be there with a real pretty spiel But three little words can explain how I feel

I love you I want you I need you is all that I know My love to your ma, kind regards to your pa And kisses to you from Joe

[2nd verse:] P. S. Dear Mayme, can you guess Who I saw, well it's old Parson Brown Gee whiz, he was chock full of biz' And he wants you and me to come 'round

Now I've bought a bargain, a nice wedding ring Worth twenty, I bought it for ten Jim Jones wants to buy it for fifteen next spring Do you want me to sell it again?
