UP yonder in Buena Park

There is a famous spot,

In legend and in history

Yclept the Waller Lot.

There children play in daytime

And lovers stroll by dark,

For 'tis the goodliest trysting-place

In all Buena Park.

Once on a time that beauteous maid,

Sweet little Sissy Knott,

Took out her pretty doll to walk

Within the Waller Lot.

While thus she fared, from Ravenswood

Came Injuns o'er the plain,

And seized upon that beauteous maid

And rent her doll in twain.
