A lit-tle maid-en climbed an old man's knee;
Begged for a sto-ry, "Do, Un-cle, please.
Why are you sin-gle, why live a-lone
Have you no ba-bies, have you no home?"
"I had a sweet-heart years, years a-go.
Where she is now, pet, you will soon know.
List to the sto-ry I'll tell it all.
I be-lieved her faith-less, af-ter the ball.
Af-ter the ball is o-ver,
af-ter the break of morn.
Af-ter the dan-cers leav-ing;
af-ter the stars are gone,
Man-y a heart is ach-ing,
if you could read them all.
Man-y the hopes that have van-ished,
af-ter the ball
