MY SWEETHEART BY MY SIDE. Copyright, 1898, by John J. Hagan. Words by John J. Hanan. Music by W. A. Kemp. 
Falrmount Park in summer is a crowded thoroughfare; I go there ev'ry Sunday to get the balmy air; I always take my sweetheart, she's my intended bride; You'd envy me if you could see my sweetheart by my side. 
Chorus. O! dear, I steer straight for the park on a Sunday; Dudes, sports, all sorts, take in the park on that day; Larking, sparking, I stroll by the mashers with pride; How they envy me whene'er they see my sweetheart by my side. 
in winter when the snow falls a change comes o'er the scene; A beautiful white mantle then takes the place of green. There, 'mong the many thousands, who o'er that mantle glide, in a handsome sleigh I drive away, my sweetheart by my side.- Cho. 
Of course, it's only natur'l for me to say that she Is the sweetest girl I know, but with me you would agree, If us you'd see on Sunday, you'd think the knot was tied; 'Tis a happy pair when I go there, my sweetheart by my side.-Cho.
