A POLISH SONG: THROUGH THE FIELDS I WANDER

GATHERING MY HARVEST
SUCH A GIRL I LOVE
THAT HAS LIGHT (FAIR) HAIR
THAT HAS LIGHT HAIR
AND BLUE EYES
I WOULD NOT TRADE HER
FOR A ROYAL SCEPTRE.

FOR A ROYAL SCEPTRE
LACKS THAT CERTAIN SWEETNESS
BUT A GIRL WILL SOMETIMES (REPEAT)
VOLUNTEER A SWEET KISS (REPEAT SECOND VERSE)
POLISHED TEXT NOT KEYPUNCHED. SEE ORIGINAL 5X8 INCH CARD.
