Here,
Tige, come here, ole feller,
here,
You'll understand somehow,
They've took her off, an'
you an' me
Ain't got no mother now.
I'm 'fraid we'll miss her
awful, Tige,
She's gone fer good, ole man,
We'll have to take an' git
along
The best way that we can.You're go'n to
miss that plate uv bones
She give you day by day,
Fer, 'ceptin' me an' her,
the folks
Said you wuz in the way;
You're go'n' to miss her
pettin', too,
Fer Mom sure was yer friend;
I'm go'n' to miss her, Tige,
too much
Fer you to comprehend.
Sis sez to
try hard not to cry;
That she'll take care uv me,
But that ain't it; it ain't
the care --
I'm lonesome as can be.
If Mom was only here agin,
I wouldn't care whot came.
We won't fergit her -- will
we, Tige?
We'll love her jist the same. |
