A LITTLE RAG DOLL. Copyright, 1895, by S. R. Harcourt. Words by Charlie Rein. Music by Still Harcourt. 
Two little girls met in the park, on a summer's day; Each one had a little doll, and went their just to play; One was dressed in tattered clothes, her slender arms were brown; The other, dressed in satin, with rich laces on her gown. "See the dolly papa bought!" the rich man's daughter said; "Don't you think she's pretty, with her lovely, golden head?" The other brought her dolly out, with sorrow, then did say: "My little doll is ragged since mamma went away!" 
Refrain. "Your little doll has golden curls, and dressed so very fine; But I don't like your dolly near as well as I do mine; Even If your dolly's eyes are such a pretty blue, I love my little ragged doll, and I would not trade with you!" 
"My little doll will shut her eyes," the rich girl spoke in haste; "And my doll will say mamma when I squeeze her tiny waist; All her clothes are made of silk, her eyes are pretty blue; Pray, tell me, what can your poor little ragged dolly do?" "My doll cannot shut her eyes," the other one replied; "I can't make her cry a bit, for I have often tried; But mamma, who is now up there with angels in the sky, Gave me this ragged doll, so I'll love her till I die|"-Refrain.
