’TWASa green velvet gownThat he wanted me to wear,With a yellow satin ribbonIn my rough brown hair.But his flame burned downAnd then he turned cold;And he sent for the Parson,Who called me bold........So I’ve come down with my velvet gownTo earn my living in Evil-Town.But I think I was ever more mad than bad,And I’d very much rather be good and glad...........Frowsy thingWith a broken wing!Hark to the queer little songs she’ll sing!Drowsy thing!

’TWASa green velvet gown

That he wanted me to wear,

With a yellow satin ribbon

In my rough brown hair.

But his flame burned downAnd then he turned cold;And he sent for the Parson,Who called me bold.

But his flame burned down

And then he turned cold;

And he sent for the Parson,

Who called me bold.

So I’ve come down with my velvet gownTo earn my living in Evil-Town.But I think I was ever more mad than bad,And I’d very much rather be good and glad....

So I’ve come down with my velvet gown

To earn my living in Evil-Town.

But I think I was ever more mad than bad,

And I’d very much rather be good and glad....

Frowsy thing

With a broken wing!

Hark to the queer little songs she’ll sing!

Drowsy thing!
