Walt Whitman's Niece

[00:06.40] Last night or the night before that
[00:09.69] And I won't say which night
[00:12.58] A seaman friend of mine
[00:16.05] And I'll not say which seaman
[00:19.05] Walked up to a big old building
[00:22.29] And I won't say which building
[00:25.34] And would have not walked up the stairs
[00:28.71] Not to say which stairs
[00:31.59] If there had not been two girls
[00:35.05] Leaving out the names of those two girls
[00:38.12] I recall a door, a big long room
[00:41.42] And I'll not tell which room
[00:44.44] I remember a deep blue rug
[00:47.78] But I can't say which rug
[00:50.84] A girl took down a book of poems
[00:54.18] Not to say which book of poems
[00:57.14] And as she read, I laid my head
[01:00.34] And I can't tell which head
[01:03.69] Down in her lap
[01:06.49] And I can't mention which lap
[01:10.25] My seaman buddy and his girl moved off
[01:13.24] After a couple of pages
[01:15.91] And there I was, all night long
[01:19.13] Laying and listening and forgetting the poems
[01:23.06] And as well as I could recall
[01:26.55] Or my seaman buddy could recollect
[01:29.15] Of Walt Whitman, but not which niece
[01:35.50] And it takes a night and a girl
[01:38.46] And a book of this kind
[01:40.30] A long, long time to find it's way back
[02:16.20] Last night or the night before that
[02:19.17] And I won't say which night
[02:22.78] A seaman friend of mine
[02:25.67] And I'll not say which seaman
[02:29.02] Walked up to a big old building
[02:31.82] And I won't say which building
[02:35.07] And would have not walked up the stairs
[02:38.36] Not to say which stairs
[02:41.44] If there had not been two girls
[02:44.76] Leaving out the names of those two girls
[02:47.61] I recall a door, a big long room
[02:51.16] And I'll not tell which room
[02:54.08] I remember a deep blue rug
[02:57.16] But I can't say which rug
[03:00.55] A girl took down a book of poems
[03:03.63] Not to say which book of poems
[03:06.74] And as she read, I laid my head
[03:09.60] But I can't tell which head
[03:12.98] Down in her lap
[03:16.04] And I can't mention which lap
[03:19.99]
