Lyrics

Here comes little Emma, a shy and comely maid
All men who meet sweet Emma wish to come to her aid
Timid as a little bird
Frightened by an unkind word
Be gentle with Emma, for she seems full afraid
Here comes lovely Emma – so kind-hearted is she
To the frail and aged she offers sympathy
Worries she for others’ health
‘Specially when they're born of wealth
Here comes lovely Emma, a kind-hearted is she

Alas for little Emma. Such sorrow she has born.
Since she was made a widow, she has much to mourn.
‘Tis vexing, tis trying
When husbands be dying
Alas for Lady Emma, such sorrow she has born

Here comes wealthy Emma. Some say she's a witch.
How did she gain position? How did she become rich?
For her rise she has to thank
Frail old men with serious bank
Here comes lucky Emma - aye verily, she’s rich

Here comes crafty Emma. What does she ask for now?
Many times a widow - 'tis needless to say how
Despite her sins may she be saved
She made the most of what God gave
Here comes crafty Emma. What does she ask for now?

Here comes an older Emma along with Humphrey Bell
They have gotten married - 'tis going very well
Humphrey Emma claims to love
So who is there to get rid of?
Here comes an older Emma with husband Humphrey Bell
