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!
