[Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
I know a little girl and I want her for my wife

      D7                                                             G
She’s pretty and sweet neat little feet and never been kissed in her life

G
You can ask her for a kiss she said oh what a bore

D7                                                     G
Every time she bows and declares she’ll never do so anymore
[Chorus]
                             C           G
Born to be a better girl and never kiss again

                                   D7
Afraid my ma might find it out and cause her great pain

G                                          C
You may walk and talk and hold my hand but kissing is a crime

G                           D7       G
I’ll not kiss you anymore until next time
[Instrumental] G C D7 G C D7 G [Verse 2]
G
I called at her house one night but I didn’t intend to stay

    D7                                                       G
She laid her head on my shoulder and said the old folks are away

G
I kissed her a dozen times and someone came to the door

D7                                                     G
Every time she bowed and declared she’d never do so anymore
[Chorus]
                             C           G
Born to be a better girl and never kiss again

Afraid my ma might find it out and cause her great pain

You may walk and talk and hold my hand but kissing is a crime

I’ll not kiss you anymore until next time

Every time she bows and declares she’ll never do so any more

Afraid my ma might find it out and cause her great pain

You may walk and talk and hold my hand but kissing is a crime

I’ll not kiss you anymore until next time
