Daisy, Daisy, Give me your answer, do!

Among many other songs, my mother used to sing this to me as a child.

Daisy, Daisy,
Give me your answer, do!
I'm half crazy,
All for the love of you!
It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage,
But you'll look sweet on the seat
Of a bicycle built for two!

Curious of its origins I checked.  Quite a story here at Wikipedia.  A big cultural echo for such a skimpy little ditty of 1892.
