Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Oh, I am a girl who is young and fair, A Merrie Miss am I. I want to find happiness ev’rywhere, I can, if I but try.
The gospel I will try to live And radiate its light, For I feel good within my heart When I do what is right.
2. Oh, I am a girl who is young and fair, A Merrie Miss I’ll be, For I know the secret of happiness For all eternity.
The gospel I will try to live And radiate its light, For I feel good within my heart When I do what is right.
