Kissing Is A Crime

Written by A.P. Carter

	  		          G 
    I know a little girl and I want her for my wife, 
                 D 
    she's pretty and sweet, neat little feet, 
                                                    G 
    and never been kissed in her life. 

    You can ask her for a kiss, she said, oh what a bore, 
      D                                                                                         G 
    every time she bows and declares, she'll never do so anymore, 

  G                                         C                G 
Born to be a better girl and never kiss again, 
                                                         D 
afraid my ma might find it out and cause her great pain. 
  G                                                                      C 
You may walk and talk and hold my hand, but kissing is a crime, 
G                                        D          G 
I'll not kiss you anymore until next time. 

        G 
    I called at her house one night but I didn't intend to stay, 
           D                                                                                             G 
    she laid her head on my shoulder and said, “The old folks are away.” 

    I kissed her a dozen times and someone came to the door, 
     D                                                                                            G 
    every time she bowed and declared she'd never do so anymore. 

  G                                         C                G 
Born to be a better girl and never kiss again, 
                                                         D 
afraid my ma might find it out and cause her great pain. 
  G                                                                      C 
You may walk and talk and hold my hand, but kissing is a crime, 
G                                        D          G 
I'll not kiss you anymore until next time. 

               G 
   She'll see you too the door kiss and then goodnight, 
      D                                                                                         G 
    every time she bows and declares she'll never do so any more. 

  G                                         C                G 
Born to be a better girl and never kiss again, 
                                                         D 
afraid my ma might find it out and cause her great pain. 
  G                                                                      C 
You may walk and talk and hold my hand, but kissing is a crime, 
G                                        D          G 
I'll not kiss you anymore until next time.
