Silver Locks was a little girl | B |
Lovely and good | C |
She strayed out one day | D |
And got lost in the wood | C |
And was lonely and sad | E |
Till she came where there stood | C |
The house which belonged to the Bears | F |
- | |
She pulled the latch string | G |
And the door opened wide | H |
She peeped softly first | I |
And at last stepped inside | H |
So tired her little feet | J |
Were that she cried | H |
And so hungry she sobbed to herself | K |
- | |
She did not know | L |
Whether to stay or to go | L |
But there were three chairs | F |
Standing all in a row | L |
And there were three bowls | M |
Full of milk white as snow | L |
And there were three beds by the wall | N |
- | |
But the Father Bear's chair | O |
Was too hard to sit in it | P |
And the Mother Bear's chair | O |
Was too hard to sit in it | P |
But the Baby Bear's chair | O |
Was so soft in a minute | Q |
She had broken it all into pieces | R |
- | |
And the Father Bear's milk | S |
Was too sour to drink | T |
And the Mother Bear's milk | S |
Was too sour to drink | T |
But the Baby Bear's milk | S |
Was so sweet only think | T |
When she tasted she drank it all up | U |
- | |
And the Father Bear's bed | V |
Was as hard as a stone | W |
And the Mother Bear's bed | V |
Was as hard as a stone | W |
But the Baby Bear's bed | V |
Was so soft she lay down | X |
And before she could wink was asleep | Y |
- | |
By and by came the scratch | Z |
Of old Father Bear's claw | A2 |
And the fumbling knock | B2 |
Of old Mother Bear's paw | A2 |
And the latch string flew up | U |
And the Baby Bear saw | A2 |
That a stranger had surely been there | O |
- | |
Then Father Bear cried | H |
Who's been sitting in my chair | O |
And Mother Bear cried | H |
Who's been sitting in my chair | O |
And Baby Bear smiled | C2 |
Who's been sitting in my chair | O |
And broken it all into pieces | R |
- | |
Then Father Bear growled | D2 |
Who's been tasting of my milk | S |
And Mother Bear growled | D2 |
Who's been tasting of my milk | S |
And Baby Bear wondered | E2 |
Who's tasted of my milk | S |
And tasting has drank it all up | U |
- | |
And Father Bear roared | F2 |
Who's been lying on my bed | V |
And Mother Bear roared | F2 |
Who's been lying on my bed | V |
And Baby Bear laughed | G2 |
Who's been lying on my bed | V |
O here she is fast asleep | Y |
- | |
The savage old Father Bear cried | H |
Let us eat her | H2 |
The savage old Mother Bear cried | H |
Let us eat her | H2 |
But the Baby Bear said | V |
Nothing ever was sweeter | H2 |
Let's kiss her and send her home | I2 |
