“You're Welcome as the Flowers in May”

Description

The singer accuses Katie of calling him a rogue to her mother. He demonstrates this by stealing a kiss and trying to steal her heart. She calls that no theft; he is "welcome as the flowers in May." She says that they will marry if her mother consents

Notes

Despite the similarity in titles (perhaps inspired by a common saying), this appears to have no relationship at all with the Randolph song "As Welcome as the Flowers in May."

Dan J. Sullivan in 1902 published a song "You're As Welcome As the Flowers In May"; I don't know which of the two traditional songs of that title, if either, it represents. - RBW
