2. Sure - ly nev - er such a babe Made a moth - er glad;

Nev - er such a dain - ty hand An - y ba - by had!
She will sure- ly wear the ring Maid - ens love
Ev - ’ry nook must be ex-plored, Ev - ’ry cor - ner scanned—
Small-est ring was ev - er made Off her fin - ger slips;
And lest she should lose it then, She’ll be wise and deep.
