THE NONSENSE SAW OF A SAW-GIRL I SAW IN ARKANSAW, by FRED W. ALLSOPP First Line: The rarest girl I ever saw Last Line: Hurrah, hurrah!, etc. | |||
The rarest girl I ever saw I saw down south in Arkansaw. She could saw wood to beat her Maw, And faster than her Paw could saw. Hurrah, Hurrah! For her I saw, Who could out-saw Her Paw and Maw. She-saw, hee-haw! I sing a saw Of a maid I saw In Arkansaw! I never saw, you never saw, A girl so saw-cy that could saw Like the saw-girl that once I saw Down in the State of Ark-an-saw! Hurrah, Hurrah!, etc. She danced the best you ever saw To tune of Turkey-in-the-Straw, And this great prize I'd like to draw To saw for me as wife or squaw. Hurrah, Hurrah!, etc. But when I ax'd her Paw and Maw To let me be their son-in-law, And let them saw in Arkansaw, They "sawed me off" by saying "Naw!" Hurrah, Hurrah!, etc. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON A FLOWER FROM THE FIELD OF GRUTLI by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS TORTOISE SHELL by DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE GOD'S WORLD by EDNA ST.
