The Best Little Wife in the World. Copyright, 1879, by T. B. Kelly. 
From the world's busy scenes I've a dear little nest. Where I haste when the day's toil is o'er; For it's there that I find sweetest comfort and rest, When I enter its low humble door. Now of course, I delight in my home warm and bright, And the room by the fire-glow impearl'd: But or there I'd not care, were I not welcom'd there By the best little wife in the world. 
Chorus. Such a dear little wife, she's the joy of my life; And in life's busy cares as I'm whirl'd, It is many a day that I lovingly sayShe's the best little wife in the world. 
Oh! no king is more proud, as he sits on his throne, Than I am in my own cosy nest, Where, like music to me, my wife's merry tone, As she gives me a loving caress. She is gentle and kind, like an angel I find, When life's cares o'er my pathway are whirl'd; She is winsome and sweet, and so loving and neat; Yes, the best little wife in the world.-Chorus. 
As I sit by the fire, with her close by my side, Oh! I think of the many, to-day, Who have no loving heart for their comfort and guide, As they journey o'er life's troubled way. Take a lesson from me, ye who single may be, Let your bachelor banners be furel'd; Find a girl who will make, without any mistake, You the best little wife in the world. - Chorus.
