See my pretty ruffled dress!

See my tienty locket!

’Spects I’m most a lady now,

’Cause I got a pocket.

Those down here are my blue shoes,

That I walk my feet in;

’Cause it wouldn’t do to wear

Copper toes to meetin’.

See my pictured hankerfustSunday days I has it!I can blow a noise in churchMost like papa does it.Papa’s hitchin’ Jack and Gray,And they keep a prancin’;Horses don’t wear Sunday clothes—They don’t know they’re dancin’.

See my pictured hankerfust

Sunday days I has it!

I can blow a noise in church

Most like papa does it.

Papa’s hitchin’ Jack and Gray,

And they keep a prancin’;

Horses don’t wear Sunday clothes—

They don’t know they’re dancin’.

Grandpa used to go with us—Now he’s gone to heaven;Guess he’s at the angel church,Up where God is livin’.I don’t take no cakes along—Never thing of eatin’;Don’t you want a nice clean kiss’Fore we go to meetin’.

Grandpa used to go with us—

Now he’s gone to heaven;

Guess he’s at the angel church,

Up where God is livin’.

I don’t take no cakes along—

Never thing of eatin’;

Don’t you want a nice clean kiss

’Fore we go to meetin’.
