Grandma Always Does

GRANDMA ALWAYS DOES

I wants to mend my wagon,

And has to have some nails, -

Jus' two, free will be plenty, -

We're going to haul our rails.

The splendidest cob-fences

We're makin', ever was!

I wis' you'd help us find 'em -

Gran'ma ollers does!

My horse's name is Betsy;

She jumped and broked her head ;

I put her in the stable.

And fed her milk and bread.

The stable 's in the parlor, -

We didn't make no muss, -

I wis' you'd let it stay there -

Gran'ma ollers does !

I wants some bread and butter,

I's hungry worstest kind;

But Toddie mustn't have none,

'Cause she wouldn't mind.

Put plenty sugar on it.

Just lots of it, because

It's right to put on sugar -

Gran'ma ollers does!
