The Doll Girl. - Will It All End in Smoke?

[Verse]

To be near her I'm here each day,
And all my cash I pay,
For cigarettes, although they make my poor head ache,
But that's a sacrifice I make only for her sake,

I hate to smoke, But still I try,
And worship at her shrine,
Kind fortune say will she decline or yet be mine?

Oh tell me
tell me
tell me
pray.

[Refrain]

Dame Nicotine,
Pray intervene,
For an unfortunate lover,
What do these smoke rings mean?

Lightly above me they hover,
Are they a sign shes to be mine?
Or is my love but a joke?
Will it all end in smoke?
Will it all end in smoke?

She'll be here soon,
Now what shall I say to her?

[Verse]

(Very bold.) I'll Say "Good-day!" In gaunty way,
I'll smile, I'll joke, Be gay,
I'll take her hand and look quite boldly in her eyes,
And say "I love you with a love that the world defies,"

Oh no, I won't, When she's in sight,
I grow quite cold with fright,
My nerves and courage always seem to leave me quite.

To tell her
tell her
tell her
all.

[Refrain]

Dame Nicotine,
Pray intervene,
For an unfortunate lover,
What do these smoke rings mean?

Lightly above me they hover,
Are they a sign shes to be mine?
Or is my love but a joke?
Will it all end in smoke?
Will it all end in smoke.
