Granny

1     Granny’s come to our house,
2       And ho! my lawzy-daisy!
3     All the childern round the place
4       Is ist a-runnin’ crazy!
5     Fetched a cake fer little Jake,
6       And fetched a pie fer Nanny,
7     And fetched a pear fer all the pack
8       That runs to kiss their Granny!
 
9     Lucy Ellen’s in her lap,
10     And Wade and Silas Walker
11   Both’s a-ridin’ on her foot,
12     And 'Pollos on the rocker;
13   And Marthy’s twins, from Aunt Marinn’s,
14     And little Orphant Annie,
15   All’s a-eatin’ gingerbread
16     And giggle-un at Granny!
 
17   Tells us all the fairy tales
18     Ever thought er wundered—
19   And 'bundance o’ other stories—
20     Bet she knows a hunderd!—
21   Bob’s the one fer “Whittington,”
22     And “Golden Locks” fer Fanny!
23   Hear 'em laugh and clap their hands,
24     Listenin’ at Granny!
 
25   “Jack the Giant-Killer” 's good;
26     And “Bean-Stalk” 's another!—
27   So’s the one of “Cinderell’”
28     And her old godmother;—
29   That-un’s best of all the rest—
30     Bestest one of any,—
31   Where the mices scampers home
32     Like we runs to Granny!
 
33   Granny’s come to our house,
34     Ho! my lawzy-daisy!
35   All the childern round the place
36     Is ist a-runnin’ crazy!
37   Fetched a cake fer little Jake,
38     And fetched a pie fer Nanny,
39   And fetched a pear fer all the pack
40     That runs to kiss their Granny!
