We know her by her gentle air
Her hair of queenly grace
Her bright dark eyes and curly hair
And pleasant smiling face.
Her rippling laughter clear and shrill
That now and then may yet be heard
That echoes softly from yonder hill
Like the lilting song of a sweet voiced bird.
But now we hear she is going to leave
Yes Elva's going away
It matters little how we grieve
We cannot make her stay.
