Look Out



Whenever you see a maiden fair
     Look out;
Lest she entice you in a snare
     Look out.
A maiden’s eyes are fair to see
With all their charm and mystery,
But from her wiles you best had flee
     Look out.

When strangers meet you on the street
     Look out;
If they have got a story neat
     Look out.
There’s just as many men to do,
There’s just as many victims. too,
Old bunco games are always new,
     Look out.

When riding on the railroad train
     Look out;
How oft these words are writ in vain!
     Look out.
The hankering is country wide
Men want to look ahead who ride –
Look out and keep your head inside,
     Look out.
