They parted but a year before she never thought he'd come  She stammered blushed hel;d out her hand and called him Mister Gum  How could he know that all the while she onged to murmur John  He called her Miss Le Brook and asked how she was gettingon  They parted but a year before they loved each other well  But he'd been to the city and came back such a swell  They longed to meet in fone embrace they hungerered for a kiss  But Mary called him Mister and the farm boy called her Miss  He stood and leaned against the door a stupid chap was he  And when she aske if he'd come in and have a cup of tea  He looked to left he looked to right and then he glanced behind  And slowly doffed that hat of his and said he didn't mind  She glanced at him at times and coughed and awkward little cough  He stared at anything but her and said I must be off  That evenning he went riding north a sad and lonely ride  She locked herself inside her rrom and sat down there and cried  They parted but a year before they loved each other well  But she was such a contry girl and he was such a swell  They longed to meet in fone embrace they hungerered for a kiss  But Mary called him Mister and the farm boy called her Miss  Mary called him Mister and the far boy called her Miss
