What Hattie thinks of Billy
Billy will never jaw, in all his life.
He will never be unkind.
And although I expect to be his wife,
I must say such men you seldom find.

I quickly changed my single lot.
Because I thought 'twould be a sin,
To think as much of that little dot,
And not yet married to him.

If ever a hasty word he spoke,
His anger did not last.
But vanished like his tobacco smoke
Before the Wintry blast.

Now since it is my lot to be
The wife of such a man
Just tell the chaps that's after me
To catch me if they can.

I know that if I am sick a single jot
That he will call the doctor in
And I think so much of that little dot
That if he dies I will never get married again.

A very tender heart he had
That felt for girls of every kind
And it makes him feel so very vad
To see them all so blind.

Whiskey and rum he tastes not.
For he thinks it is a sin
And I think so much of that little dot
That if he dies I will never get married again.

But when he will die, The thought is killing
My grief I cannot control.
For he will not leave a single shilling
His widow to console

              February the 14th 1865


Blest be the day of sacred mirth
That gave my dear companion worth
Let men rejoice while Hattie sings
The bliss her precious Billy brings
