Yellow Handkerchief Lyrics

So take this yellow handkerchief in remembrance of me And tie it round your neck, my love, in flash companie. Flash companie, my boys, like a geat many more If it hadn't a been for flash companie I should never a been so poor.

For once I loved a young girl as I loved my life And I thought in my heart I would make her my wife. With her white cotton stockings, and her high ankle shoes And she wears a yellow handkerchief wherever she goes.

So take this yellow handkerchief in remembrance of me And tie it round your neck, my love, in flash companie. Flash companie, my boys, like a great many more If it hadn't a been for flash companie I should never a been so poor.

For with fiddling and dancing 'twas all my delight And in keeping such company it ruined me quite. It has ruined me quite, my boys, like a great many more If it hadn't a been for flash companie I should never a been so poor.
So take this yellow handkerchief in remembrance of me And tie it round your neck, my love, in flash companie. Flash companie, my boys, like a great many more If it hadn't a been for flash companie I should never a been so poor.

For once I had a color as red as the rose But now I'm as pale as the lily that grows. Like a flower in the garden all my color has gone So you see what I'm coming to from loving that one.

So take this yellow handkerchief in remembrance of me And tie it round your neck, my love, in flash companie. Flash companie, my boys, like a great many more If it hadn't a been for flash companie I should never a been so poor.
