My Little Maid of Oz Original Sheet Music Cover
(1905)

Lyrics

Sung by Tip

When a Princess grand I used to be,
A poor young man made love to me,
For my name and wealth he didn’t care
I’d enough for two and some to spare.
He declared tho’ born unto a throne,
He would surely win me for his own.
In spite of bolts and bars and jolts,
He sang in silv’ry tune:

My little maid of Oz,
I love you, dear, because,
Your eyes so bright
Are my delight,
You’re the sweetest ever was.
And in spite of stern Papas,
And of dignified Mamas,
You just can bet,
I’ll win you yet,
My little maid of Oz.

So they locked me up
Within a tower,
But the young man came
One midnight hour.
With lots of hope,
And a coil of rope,
To beg me to with him elope.
But he woke up Pa and Ma and Jim,
And the whole caboodle jumped on him.
He was led away
To a dungeon gray,
But still I heard him say:

My little maid of Oz,
Etc.
