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,

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!
