Little Dora.

By James McIntyre

I tell you what my little Dora, You do cause my heart to sorrow, Tell me now you little misses What you do with all your kisses. I see you get them by the dozen From each aunt and little cousin, Said she I do intend dear pa To give them all to you and ma. And not a single one I'll miss, But I will give you back each kiss, And both of you will feel you're blest When I pay you interest. You'll better in my bank invest And put my principle to test, And you can dividend partake, For my bank will never break.
