Jersey Belle, My Jersey Girl

Listen to poem:

'twas at the country fair I spied her outstanding in her field (in many more ways than one) beyond compare second to none eyelashes long and lovely skin of velvety down I insist who could resist those eyes so big so brown (limpid pools?) 'twould make a fool of (almost) any man but I'm her biggest fan and I won't lie I can't deny a complexion creamy a gaze quite dreamy took my breath away that day and in her hair a ribbon a ribbon of bonny blue lost my heart (and then my mind) what's a boy to do 'twere love instantly 'At first sight' one might even say (could she be the one for me?) I couldn't let her get away and so I took her home it was a first for me but please don't think the worst (there'll be no matrimony) I've sailed the seven seas to the four corners of the earth been to hell (without a handbasket) and for what it's worth been around the whole wide world but waiting there at the country fair where ruminating I found my one and only my Jersey Belle, my Jersey girl
