She sends her voice a-soarin' round,
Bout forty miles a day;

To take an interest;

To eat things with your knife,
Err drink from out yer sasser,
An sez not to forget
To cut my pie up with my fork,
Because it's etiketti
She sights her patchin'-durn it all!
My sock heels war right through,
Becuz when mendin' EN- she reads
That blamed oil "Shakespeer." too.

Some blame book in her hand

An where she orter stand
That new style cook book that / bought,
