Versified by Mrs Clara Doty Bates	A
	-
	-
If you listen children I will tell	B
The story of little Red Riding hood	C
Such wonderful wonderful things befell	B
Her and her grandmother old and good	C
So old she was never very well	B
Who lived in a cottage in a wood	C
	-
Little Red Riding hood every day	D
Whatever the weather shine or storm	E
To see her grandmother tripped away	D
With a scarlet hood to keep her warm	E
And a little mantle soft and gay	D
And a basket of goodies on her arm	F
	-
A pat of butter and cakes of cheese	G
Were stored in the napkin nice and neat	H
As she danced along beneath the trees	G
As light as a shadow were her feet	H
And she hummed such tunes as the bumble bees	G
Hum when the clover tops are sweet	H
	-
But an ugly wolf by chance espied	H
The child and marked her for his prize	I
What are you carrying there he cried	H
Is it some fresh baked cakes and pies	I
And he walked along close by her side	H
And sniffed and rolled his hungry eyes	I
	-
A basket of things for granny it is	J
She answered brightly without fear	K
Oh I know her very well sweet miss	L
Two roads branch towards her cottage here	M
You go that way and I'll go this	L
See which will get there first my dear	K
	-
He fled to the cottage swift and sly	N
Rapped softly with a dreadful grin	O
Who's there asked granny Only I	N
Piping his voice up high and thin	O
Pull the string and the latch will fly	N
Old granny said and he went in	O
	-
He glared her over from foot to head	H
In a second more the thing was done	P
He gobbled her up and merely said	H
She wasn't a very tender one	P
And then he jumped into the bed	H
And put her sack and night cap on	Q
	-
And he heard soft footsteps presently	R
And then on the door a timid rap	S
He knew Red Riding hood was shy	N
So he answered faintly to the tap	S
Pull the string and the latch will fly	N
She did and granny in her night cap	S
	-
Lay covered almost up to her nose	T
Oh granny dear she cried are you worse	U
I'm all of a shiver even to my toes	T
Please won't you be my little nurse	U
And snug up tight here under the clothes	V
Red Riding hood answered Yes of course	W
	-
Her innocent head on the pillow laid	H
She spied great pricked up hairy ears	X
And a fierce great mouth wide open spread	H
And green eyes filled with wicked leers	X
And all of a sudden she grew afraid	H
Yet she softly asked in spite of her fears	X
	-
Oh granny what makes your ears so big	Y
To hear you with to hear you with	Z
Oh granny what make your eyes so big	Y
To see you with to see you with	Z
Oh granny what makes your teeth so big	Y
To eat you with to eat you with	Z
	-
And he sprang to swallow her up alive	A2
But it chanced a woodman from the wood	H
Hearing her shriek rushed with his knife	B2
And drenched the wolf in his own blood	H
And in that way he saved the life	B2
Of pretty little Red Riding hood	H
	-
	-
Hark hark	C2
The dogs do bark	C2
Beggars are coming to town	D2
Some in jags	X
Some in rags	X
And some in velvet gowns	X
