  • Beware of young girls
    Who come to the door
    Wistful and pale of twenty and four
    Delivering daisies with delicate hands

    Beware of young girls
    Too often they crave to cry
    At a wedding and dance on a grave

    She was my friend, my friend
    My friend, she was invited to my house
    Oh yes, she was and though she knew

    My love was true and no ordinary thing
    She admired my wedding ring
    She admired my wedding ring

    She was my friend, my friend
    My friend, she sent us little silver gifts
    Oh yes, she did, oh, what a rare
    And happy pair

    She inevitably said as she glanced
    At my unmade bed
    She admired my unmade bed, my bed

    Beware of young girls
    Who come to the door
    Wistful and pale of twenty and four
    Delivering daisies with delicate hands

    Beware of young girls
    Too often they crave to cry
    At a wedding and dance on a grave

    She was my friend, my friend
    My friend, I thought her motives were sincere
    Oh yes, I did, ah, but this lass
    It came to pass

    Had a dark and different plan
    She admired my own sweet man
    She admired my own sweet man

    We were friends, oh yes, we were
    And she just took him from my life
    Oh yes, she did, so young and vain
    She brought me pain

    But I'm wise enough to say
    She will leave him, one thoughtless day
    She'll just leave him and go away, oh yes

    Beware of young girls
    Who come to the door
    Wistful and pale of twenty and four
    Delivering daisies with delicate hands

    Beware of young girls
    Too often they crave to cry
    At a wedding and dance on a grave

    Beware of young girls
    Beware of young girls, beware
