When Phyllis went to Town

 

When Phyllis went to Town 

Words & Music by Louise Ayres Garnett 
To Carrie Blair Neeley

1. Phyllis Brown. . . . Went to town. . . .

In a dainty gown, Ο!. .

Winsome air.. . .Golden hair. . . .  

What a picture fair, Ο!. . 

As she glances ;neath her hat .

Ev'ry heart goes pit  a pat, 

And she knows it, (think of that!) 

Phyllis Phyllis Brown Ο! O. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 

Phyllis Phyllis Brown, O! 

2.Saucy chin. . . Buttoned in. . 

With dimples, 'tis no sin Ο! 

Bonnet strings. .  (Horrid things)

Go sailing just like wings, Ο!  

A youth attempts with  fingers slow 

To tie the ribbons as they blow, 

Takes beau to tie a  bow

Phyllis Phyllis Brown Ο! O. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 

Phyllis Phyllis Brown, O! 

3. Not a frown Has Phyllis Brown. . 

Coming from the town, Ο!. . 

Air demure. . . Hat secure. . . .  

Now she's caught for sure, Ο!

Though the bow was tied too tight 

She declares it perfect, quite.  

Thus does Cupid prove his might

Phyllis Phyllis Brown Ο! O. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 

Phyllis Phyllis Brown, O!
