Take A Little Tip From Father 1912

Old man Wilson had quite a family,
seven grown up boys,
Handing out advice to his family
was his only joy,
they would come to him for his good advice
almost ev'ry day;
and when it came to the marriage game,
he'd light up his pipe and say:

Take a little tip from Father,
take a little tip from dad,
stay far away from the beautiful girls,
each little peach is a full grown lemon,
Wedding chimes, seven times,
out of ten are bad,
but if you find a girl like mother,
get married like your dear old dad.

Take a little tip from Father,
take a little tip from dad,
stay far away from the beautiful girls,
each little peach is a full grown lemon,
Wedding chimes, seven times,
out of ten are bad,
but if you find a girl like mother,
get married like your dear old dad.

Old man Wilson said to his family:
"I'm for married life,
if a married man does not have to see
too much of his wife,
'till you find a girl like your mother, dear,
long you'll have to roam;
Your mother, dear,
seven months each year,
would spend with her folks down home,"

Take a little tip from Father,
take a little tip from dad,
stay far away from the beautiful girls,
each little peach is a full grown lemon,
Wedding chimes, seven times,
out of ten are bad,
but if you find a girl like mother,
get married like your dear old dad.

Take a little tip from Father,
take a little tip from dad,
stay far away from the beautiful girls,
each little peach is a full grown lemon,
Wedding chimes, seven times,
out of ten are bad,
but if you find a girl like mother,
get married like your dear old dad.
