 <\/p>\n

Take me for a buggy ride<\/span><\/p>\n

Father will you please,<\/span><\/p>\n

by my side we will go<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>to the Croft among the trees,<\/span><\/p>\n

where the tall maples grow<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>and my heart is on its knees.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take me for a buggy ride<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Mother will not go,<\/span><\/p>\n

and chase away the morning dew<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>to where the warm winds blow,<\/span><\/p>\n

where passions run true and true<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>and tears warm never flow.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take me for a buggy ride<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Emma will you please,<\/span><\/p>\n

to the throne where we belong<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>where our fancies all run free,<\/span><\/p>\n

and streets are wide, mansions strong<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>with the glimpse of the distant sea.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take me for a buggy ride<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>before it\u2019s all to late,<\/span><\/p>\n

before the August summer Kill<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>away from the house of hate,<\/span><\/p>\n

to my topaz upon the hill<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>before I lose my soul and faith,<\/span><\/p>\n

Take me for a buggy ride<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Father will you please<\/span><\/p>\n

where the tall maples grow<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>to the Croft among the trees.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take me for a buggy ride, please<\/span><\/p>\n
