Wing Tee Wee

Topics: classic

Oh, Wing Tee Wee             Was a sweet Chinee,         And she lived in the town of Tac.             Her eyes were blue,             And her curling queue         Hung dangling down her back;     And she fell in love with gay Win Sil     When he wrote his name on a laundry bill.             And, oh, Tim Told             Was a pirate bold,         And he sailed in a Chinese junk;             And he loved, ah me!             Sweet Wing Tee Wee,         But his valiant heart had sunk;     So he drowned his blues in fickle fizz,     And vowed the maid would yet be his.             So bold Tim Told             Showed all his gold         To the maid in the town of Tac;             And sweet Wing Wee             Eloped to sea,         And nevermore came back;     For in far Chinee the maids are fair,     And the maids are false, as everywhere.
