OLD GRANLEY.
Old Granley declared by all the leaves
That were upon the tree-tree
He'd do more work in one short day
Than his wife could do in three-thres.
Mrs. Gfanley she came In she says,
You shall have trouble now-now,
For you shall do the work in the house,
And I'll go follow the plowpiow.
But you must milk the mooley cow,
For fear she will go drydry,
And you must feed the little pig,
Which is within the sty-sty.
"And you must put the cream In the churu,
Which is within the frame-frame.
And you must see TO the fat in the pot,
That it don't all go into the flame flame.
"And you must feed the speckled hen,
For fear she'll lay astray-stray,
And you must reel the spool of yarn,
That spun yesterday day"
Mrs. Graney took the whip in her hand
To go and follow the plow-piow,
Old Graniey took the pail IN mis- hand
To milk the mooley cow-eow.
The mooey cow she kicked she raved,
She rumbed with her nose-nose;
She kicked old Granley the shin
Till the blood ran down TO his toes-toss.
He went to watch the speckled hen,
For fear she'd lay astray STRAY.
