Granny

Granny's come to our house,

      And ho! my lawzy-daisy!

    All the childern round the place

      Is ist a-runnin' crazy!

    Fetched a cake fer little Jake,

      And fetched a pie fer Nanny,

    And fetched a pear fer all the pack

      That runs to kiss their Granny!

    Lucy Ellen's in her lap,

     And Wade and Silas Walker

   Both's a-ridin' on her foot,

     And 'Pollos on the rocker;

   And Marthy's twins, from Aunt Marinn's,

     And little Orphant Annie,

   All's a-eatin' gingerbread

     And giggle-un at Granny!

   Tells us all the fairy tales

     Ever thought er wundered —

   And 'bundance o' other stories —

     Bet she knows a hunderd! —

   Bob's the one fer "Whittington,"

     And "Golden Locks" fer Fanny!

   Hear 'em laugh and clap their hands,

     Listenin' at Granny!

   "Jack the Giant-Killer" 's good;

     And "Bean-Stalk" 's another! —

   So's the one of "Cinderell'"

     And her old godmother; —

   That-un's best of all the rest —

     Bestest one of any, —

   Where the mices scampers home

     Like we runs to Granny!

   Granny's come to our house,
