'They tie you down ' a woman said	A
Whose cheeks should have been flaming red	A
With shame to speak of children so	B
'When babies come you cannot go	B
In search of pleasure with your friends	C
And all your happy wandering ends	C
The things you like you cannot do	D
For babies make a slave of you '	E
	-
I looked at her and said ''Tis true	D
That children make a slave of you	D
And tie you down with many a knot	F
But have you never thought to what	G
It is of happiness and pride	H
That little babies have you tied	H
Do you not miss the greater joys	I
That come with little girls and boys	I
	-
'They tie you down to laughter rare	J
To hours of smiles and hours of care	J
To nights of watching and to fears	K
Sometimes they tie you down to tears	L
And then repay you with a smile	M
And make your trouble all worth while	M
They tie you fast to chubby feet	N
And cheeks of pink and kisses sweet	N
	-
'They fasten you with cords of love	O
To God divine who reigns above	O
They tie you whereso'er you roam	P
Unto the little place called home	P
And over sea or railroad track	Q
They tug at you to bring you back	Q
The happiest people in the town	R
Are those the babies have tied down	R
	-
'Oh go your selfish way and free	S
But hampered I would rather be	S
Yes rather than a kingly crown	R
I would be what you term tied down	R
Tied down to dancing eyes and charms	T
Held fast by chubby dimpled arms	T
The fettered slave of girl and boy	U
And win from them earth's finest joy '	-
