kee.
In very humble cot,
In a rather quiet spot,
In the suds and in the soap
Worked a woman full of hope,
Working, singing, all alone,
In a sort of undertone,
with a SAVIOUR for a friend,
He will keep me to the end"
Sometimes happening along
I had heard the semi-song,
And often used to smile,
More in sympathy than guile,
But ] never said 4 word
In regard to what / heard;
AS she sung about her friend,
Who would keep her to the end.
Not in sorrow nor in glee
Working all day long was she,
AS her children three or four
Played around her on the floor;
But in monotones the song
She was humming all day long,
with a Saviour for a friend
He will keep me to the end"
It's a song do not sing,
For l scarce believe a thing
Of the stories that are told
Of the miracles of old;
But l know that her belief
Is the anodyne of grief,
And will always be a friend,
Who will keep her to the end.
Just a trifle lonesome she,
Just as poor as poor could be,
But her spirits always rose,
Like the bubbles in the clothes,
And though widowed and alone
Cheered her with the monotone,
Of a Savior and a friend.
Who would keep her to the end.
/ have seen her rub and scrub,
On the washboard in the tub,
While the baby sopped in suds,
Rolled and tumbled in the buds,
Or was padding in the pools,
With old scissors stuck in spools,
She still humming of her friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Human hopes and human creeds
Have their root in human needs,
And / would not wish to strip
From that washer woman's lip
Any song that she can sing,
Any hope that song can bring, 4
For the woman has a friend
Who will keep her to the end.
