Take A Little Tip From Father 1912

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 10 Aug 2005

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 doesn't 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 a 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.
