But she could iron linen fiat
She did not ask a queeny wage
Six dollars and her keep was all.
We taught her how to bake and brew
She asked eight dollars in the fall,
BY spring she knew the way to wait
Upon table fairly well,
And she could do dozen things
That daily to her lot befell
Twas then she asked four evenings out
And thought a dollar more would do
