She Used To Be The Slowest Girl in Town

Music by Raymond Walker

Words by Chas. McCarron

A certain girl once lived in our home town

With curly hair and great big eyes of brown

If she was dynamited,

She’d never get excited,

When the other girls would start to clown,

She’d frown,

She left her home just twenty years ago,

She was so slow she took the “B and O.”

She used to be the slowest girl in town never hurried

Always took the longest way around never worried

Never known to have a beau

Folks all said she was too slow

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh,

They didn’t know

She never had a single word to say very quiet

But she came back home the other day caused a riot

With a Paris gown and Paris hat

Nineteen kids and husband fat

And she used to be the slowest girl in town

Now all the girls she knew when she was young

When they saw her they wished that they’d been hung

Those girls who were so sporty

Are now old maids at forty,

To the old home town too long they clung, got stung,

You’ve heard about the turtle and the hare,

How slow old misses turtle she got there.
