Title
Dolly Brown
Additional title: A mile outside the city, there's a quaint old village green, And near it stands a cottage, that's the cutest ever seen, I take the car each evening to the limits of the town, And there I meet the graceful form, Of charming Dolly Brown, My charming Dolly Brown, My darling Dolly Brown. [first line]
Additional title: She has a kiss for me, She has a smile for you, So blithe and so jolly is dear little Dolly, affectionate, constant and true, Down by the gate she will wait for me, the belle of the quaint old town. [first line of chorus]
