Version 1 of the lyrics

  She was seven and I was just ten,  She was seven and I was just ten,
  When she moved next door to the house we lived in.  When she moved next door to the house we lived in.
  She followed me around and got in my hair.  She followed me around and got in my hair.
  Wherever I looked, she'd be there.  Wherever I looked, she'd be there.
      
  An awkward little girl with big brown eyes,  An awkward little girl with big brown eyes,
  She'd ask me over for tea and mud pies.  She'd ask me over for tea and mud pies.
  A freckle-faced angel, always in my way,  A freckle-faced angel, always in my way,
  But I couldn't refuse when she'd say,  But I couldn't refuse when she'd say,
      
  "Big brother, take me with you.  "Big brother, take me with you.
  Wherever you're goin' I wanna go too.  Wherever you're goin' I wanna go too.
  You're so silly, the things that you do,  You're so silly, the things that you do,
  But, big brother, how I love you."  But, big brother, how I love you."
      
  (Ooo-ooo.)  (Ooo-ooo.)
      
  As she grew older, I'd take her around.  As she grew older, I'd take her around.
  We'd go to the fair when it came to town.  We'd go to the fair when it came to town.
  The sideshows and candy would keep us all day.  The sideshows and candy would keep us all day.
  And when we were late she would say,  And when we were late she would say,
      
  "Mother, there's no need to worry and fuss.  "Mother, there's no need to worry and fuss.
  My big brother can take care of us.  My big brother can take care of us.
  He's like one of our own family.  He's like one of our own family.
  Big brother takes care of me."  Big brother takes care of me."
      
  (Ooo-ooo.)  (Ooo-ooo.)
      
  So the years flew by then one night in the spring,  So the years flew by then one night in the spring,
  All of a sudden she was eighteen.  All of a sudden she was eighteen.
  No longer the little girl I'd known all my life,  No longer the little girl I'd known all my life,
  And I wanted to make her my wife.  And I wanted to make her my wife.
      
  But a few days later, her heart all aglow,  But a few days later, her heart all aglow,
  In order that I'd be the first one to know,  In order that I'd be the first one to know,
  She brought him over and in her sweet way,  She brought him over and in her sweet way,
  She told me of their wedding day,  She told me of their wedding day,
      
  "Big brother, I've been so long,  "Big brother, I've been so long,
  But now, big brother, we'll have to be strong."  But now, big brother, we'll have to be strong."
  So, I'll turn and hide these tears in my eyes,  So, I'll turn and hide these tears in my eyes,
1  I can't let her see big brother cry.   I can't let her see big brother cry. 1
