Reading edition

(Song of the Golf Enthusiast. After Thomas Moore.)

AIR—"Thee, thee, only thee."

Illustration from Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 103, September 3, 1892

The dawn of morn, the daylight's sinking, Shall find me on the Links, and thinking Of Tee, Tee, only Tee! When rivals meet upon the ground, The Putting-green's a realm enchanted, Nay, in Society's giddy round My soul, (like Tooting's thralls) is haunted By Tee, Tee, only Tee!' For that at early morn I waken, And swiftly bolt my eggs and bacon, For Tee, Tee, only Tee! I'm game to start all in the dark To the Links hurrying—resting never. The Caddie yawns, but, like a lark, I halt not, heed not, hastening ever To Tee, Tee, only Tee! Of chilly fog I am no funker, I'll brave the very biggest bunker For Tee, Tee, only Tee! A spell that nought on earth can break Holds me. Golf's charms can ne'er be spoken; But late I'll sleep, and early wake, Of loyalty be this my token, To Tee, Tee, only Tee!
