Teddy my dear, when the leaves become yellow
Then know it is autumn
The season when my spirits are low
And my life short of fortune
But time flies as they say
So we hope spring will not delay
When the fields are once again green
And our beauties more clearly seen
But again time hastes its roaming
To bring summer heavily dawning
The heat is not for us to dare
For now autumn was a season more fair
That we dreaded but now is gone
Leaving me by my friend forlorn
Winter then brought us new wheels
Leaving us jovial from head to heels
We played about, sank in snow
It was then "Teddy," I said, "your love I now know."
