126 Yonder Comes a Heavenly Creature sung by O. B. Campbell of Medford, Grant County, Oklahoma, 1934.
1. Yonder comes a heavenly creature,
Who she be I do not know.
I'll go and court her for her beauty.
Whether she says yes or no.
"No, no, no, sir, no."
All her answers to me were No.
2. "Madam, I have gold and silver,
Madam, I have house and land,
Madam I have a world of pleasure,
All I want is your right hand.
"No, no, no, sir, no."
All her answers to me were No.
3. What do I care for your gold and silver?
What do I care for your house and land?
What do I care for your world of pleasures?
All I want is a handsome man
No, no, no sir, no
All her answers to me were No.
