I will follow you 'till the day is through

I wonder what you would do,

If I stopped and said "How do you do?" like other girls do.
EC#m
I think I'd die with delight. I want to call and love you tonight.

In the parlor? No. In a hammock? No.

Out on the old front porch. Well, hold me, Charlie!
F#
On the old front porch. Now, stop!
