Her star light eyes are casting Up on me so bright. Oh1 Bless me, aint it pleasant Sparking on Sunday night. Chorus: Sparking, sparking, sparking, Sparking on Sunday night. Oh1 Bless me aint it pleasant Sparking on Sunday night ? How my heart is throbbing Against my Sunday vestl And how wickedly 1 tis working On this day of rest. Hours seem like moments So rapid are their flight. Oh, Bl ess me1 Aint it pleasant Sparking on Sunday night ? Pa and Ma are sleeping On their peaceful bed, Dreaming of the good things The minister had said, 11 Love ye one another 11 The preacher did recite. Oh, Bless me, don 1 t we do that, Sparking on Sunday night. Hark1 The old clock strikin 1 ¥Tis two o 1 clock 11 , I sung. 11 As sure as I 1m a sinner The time to go has come.u She asked in spiteful accents If that old clock was right, And wondered if it ever went Sparking on Sunday night. It s one, two, three sweet kisses-It1s four, five six I took. For fear that I might rob her, I pay back those I took. Then for home I started To leave my fair ones right. Oh, don 1t I wish that everyday \'fould come on Sunday night? 1 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
