Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCAADDAAEEFFAACC AAFFCCFFCCCCAACCGGHH IIAAFFFJ| We've been out to Pelletier's | A |
| Brushing off the stain of years | A |
| Quitting all the moods of men | B |
| And been boys and girls again | B |
| We have romped through orchards blazing | C |
| Petted ponies gently grazing | C |
| Hidden in the hayloft's spaces | A |
| And the queerest sort of places | A |
| That are lost and it's a pity | D |
| To the youngsters in the city | D |
| And the hired men have let us | A |
| Drive their teams and stopped to get us | A |
| Apples from the trees and lingered | E |
| While a cow's cool nose we fingered | E |
| And they told us all about her | F |
| And her grandpa who was stouter | F |
| We've been out to Pelletier's | A |
| Watching horses raise their ears | A |
| And their joyous whinnies hearing | C |
| When the man with oats was nearing | C |
| We've been climbing trees an' fences | A |
| Never minding consequences | A |
| And we helped the man to curry | F |
| The fat ponies' sides so furry | F |
| And we saw a squirrel taking | C |
| Walnuts to the nest he's making | C |
| Storing them for winter when he | F |
| Can't get out to hunt for any | F |
| And we watched the turkeys growing | C |
| Big and fat and never knowing | C |
| That the reason they were living | C |
| Is to die for our Thanksgiving | C |
| We've been out to Pelletier's | A |
| Brushing off the stain of years | A |
| We were kids set free from shamming | C |
| And the city's awful cramming | C |
| And the clamor and the bustle | G |
| And the fearful rush and hustle | G |
| Out of doors with room to race in | H |
| And broad acres soft to chase in | H |
| We just stretched our souls and let them | I |
| Drop the petty cares that fret them | I |
| Left our narrow thoughts behind us | A |
| Loosed the selfish traits that bind us | A |
| And were wholesomer and plainer | F |
| Simpler kinder folks and saner | F |
| And at night said 'It's a pity | F |
| Mortals ever built a city ' | J |
