And makes ma help him up to bed While Sis and Bridget run to heat Hot water bags to warm his feet, And must get the doctor quick ..... We have to jump when papa's sick. When papa's sick ma has to stand Right side the bed and hold his hand While Sis she has to fan an fan. For he says he's n dyin' man.

an unisvorahle weather map, caused tho
smaller shorts to cover up and on this do
