Joseph Skipsey

Dora Dee

THERE’S not a may in Ellerton
   By half so sweet to look upon;
In all the country round there’s none
   So sweet as Dora Dee.
 
The blood-red rose to passer by,
   May show with pride its precious dye;
There’s not a bloom can charm the eye
   Like little Dora Dee.
 
The linnet’s self its head may rear,
   And pipe a note wild, sweet, and clear;
There’s not a bird can charm the ear
   Like little Dora Dee.
 
The lady in yon castle grand,
   May knees of noble lords command;
There’s not a lady in the land
   The peer of Dora Dec.
