• Lyrics:
  There's only one girl in the world that I would call my wife,
  And the girl I sing of, I love dearer than my life,
  My sweetheart's age is just eighteen, she greets me with a smile,
  And when she says “Good evening dear,” I'm thinking all the while,
  That there is,
  
  chorus:
  Only one girl in the world for me,
  Only one girl has my sympathy,
  She's not so very pretty, nor of a high degree,
  There's only one girl in the world for me.
  (repeat chorus)
  
  My sweetheart is an orphan, and I'm a working lad,
  But if work was steady, why it would not be so bad,
  We've been engaged about one year, and last night at the gate,
  She said as tears came to her eyes,
  My own true love I'll wait.
  So there is,
