My Lou Jennine
C. Ives
Has she need of monarch's swaying wand,
Has she need of regent's diamond crown,
Proudest peers in all this land
Bow to that wee jewell'd hand,
For she's a queen,
My Lou Jennine,
Has she lack of real allies,
Ev'ry zealous minion flies
At the bidding of those eyes
Such, such a queen
Is my Lou Jennine.
Royal maiden, yours, your alone
Is the sole sov'reignty I own.
Take my heart for a throne
Pleading in this plaintive tone,
To be my queen,
My Lou Jennine.
