There was a young lady of Riga
There was a young lady of Riga
Original Text
William S. Baring-Gould, The Lure of the Limerick (New York: Clarkson N. Potter, 1967): 106.
2Who smiled as she rode on a tiger;
3 They returned from the ride
4 With the lady inside,
5And the smile on the face of the tiger.
