Two Shoes Two Shoes	B
Little Goody Two Shoes	B
Do you know about her Well	C
I'm ready now to tell	C
How the little creature came	D
By so odd a name	D
	-
It was very long ago	E
In the days of good Queen Bess	F
When upon the cold world's care	G
Fatherless and motherless	H
	-
There were thrown two helpless ones	I
Destitute as they could be	J
Tom they called the little boy	K
And the girl was Margery	J
	-
Many a day they cried for food	L
When the cup board shelves were bare	G
Many an hour they roamed the streets	M
Scarcely knowing why or where	G
	-
As to kindred all were dead	N
As to shelter they had none	O
As to shoes Tom had a pair	G
Little Margery had but one	O
	-
One Shoe One Shoe	P
Think of Little One Shoe	P
Think how never a pretty boot	Q
Was buttoned on the tender foot	R
Nor yet a slipper fairy light	S
With dainty knot or buckle bright	S
	-
But above our human woes	T
Bends an always loving Heaven	O
And to every hungry cry	U
Is there somewhere answer given	O
	-
Kind eyes watched the wandering ones	I
Pitied their forlorn distress	F
Grieved to note Tom's ragged coat	V
And Margery's tattered dress	F
	-
'Twas the village clergyman	O
And he sought them tenderly	J
Gave them warm soft clothes to wear	G
Ordered shoes for Margery	J
	-
Two shoes two shoes	B
Oh see my two shoes	B
So did little Margery cry	U
When the cobbler came to try	U
If they fitted trim and neat	W
On the worn and tired feet	W
That is how and why she came	D
By so strange a name	D
	-
Tom went off to London town	X
Margery went to village school	Y
Apt she was and quick to learn	Z
Docile to the simplest rule	Y
	-
Out from the long alphabet	A2
Letters looked at her and smiled	B2
Almost seemed to nod and speak	C2
Glad to know so bright a child	B2
	-
Ranged themselves in winsome words	D2
Then in sentences Indeed	E2
Quite before she knew the fact	F2
Margery had learned to read	N
	-
Two Shoes Two Shoes	B
Eager Goody Two Shoes	B
When the magic art she knew	P
She planned to help poor children too	P
And those who had no chance to learn	Z
Their letters she would teach in turn	Z
	-
Now in the days of good Queen Bess	F
Few books were printed very few	P
None scarcely for the little folks	G2
So Margery studied what to do	P
	-
She cut from proper blocks of wood	H2
Sets of the letters A B C	J
And in some cosy shady place	I2
Would group the children round her knee	J
	-
And teach them not alone to read	N
But how to spell and how to sing	J2
And how to practice gentle ways	K2
And to be kind to everything	J2
	-
Two Shoes Two Shoes	B
So grew Goody Two Shoes	B
First a maiden comely sweet	W
Then a woman wise discreet	W
Called now as a courtesy	J
Little Mrs Margery	J
	-
An honored faithful teacher she	J
And every year an added grace	I2
More fair than youth's fair roses are	L2
Blossomed upon her charming face	I2
	-
All living things seemed drawn to her	M2
A helpless lamb whose dam had died	N2
She reared and tended till he ran	O2
Tame as a kitten at her side	N2
	-
A sky lark stolen from its nest	P2
Sang on her finger though he knew	P
His unclipped wings were free to soar	Q2
At will into the heaven's blue	P
	-
A raven which had fought and torn	R2
Its captor's hand with savage beak	C2
And which at first could only croak	S2
She taught in gracious words to speak	C2
	-
Jumper the dog watched all her steps	T2
With constant eyes and jealous love	U2
A great cat purred and rubbed her dress	F
And on her shoulder perched a dove	U2
	-
Two Shoes Two Shoes	B
Ah me Margery Two Shoes	B
Maybe the days of good Queen Bess	F
Were times of wisdom nevertheless	F
Witches the people said might be	J
And a witch they thought our Margery	J
	-
'Twas Nickey Noodle a simpleton	R2
Who raised the cry A witch a witch	V2
Then she was summoned to the court	W2
Amused or grieved she scarce knew which	V2
	-
Plenty of friends however proved	X2
How false was Justice Shallow's plea	J
That She must be a witch because	Y2
Because of the raven don't you see	J
	-
Sir Edward Lovell a baronet	Z2
Who stood in court and saw her grace	I2
Her sweet good sense her dignity	J
And the pure beauty of her face	I2
	-
Sighed heavily in his high born breast	P2
As Mrs Margery was set free	J
Saying I know she is a witch	V2
For ah she so bewitches me	J
	-
He watched her go her quiet ways	K2
And vowed whatever might betide	N2
If his best love could win her heart	A3
And hand then she should be his bride	N2
	-
Two Shoes Two Shoes	B
Lady Lovell if she choose	B
Her the noble lover wooed	L
Humbly as a lover should	H2
Eagerly as lover ought	B3
With entire heart and thought	B3
	-
What her answer all may guess	F
For the old church chime that rung	C3
Its next wedding anthem sung	C3
With a most delighted tongue	C3
	-
Two Shoes Two Shoes	B
Wedding day of Two Shoes	B
Barefoot lass but yesterday	D3
Lady Lovell is to day	D3
Two Shoes Two Shoes	B
Lovely Lady Two Shoes	B
	-
Who is this that rides so fast	E3
With plumed hat and cheek of brown	R2
With golden trappings on his horse	F3
Gallant and gay from London town	R2
	-
He hears the bells he strikes his spurs	G3
The flecks of foam are on his rein	R2
The dust of journey whitens him	H3
He leans to see the bridal train	R2
	-
Two Shoes Two Shoes	B
Lady Goody Two Shoes	B
Tom it is come home once more	Q2
Even now he's at the door	Q2
Rich and grand as any king	J2
Come to bless the wedding ring	J2
