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.
