| What Jack Frost had done and he | B |
| Said 'Ah shucks that's nothing see | B |
| I have seen all that before | A |
| You just come along with me | B |
| I will show you something more ' | C |
| And he took me to a lot | D |
| Where there was a shallow pool | E |
| And this pool was frozen full | F |
| Of the slickest ice I got | D |
| On it but he said 'You fool | E |
| It will break You'd better not ' | C |
| And right then it broke O my | G |
| In I went above my knees | H |
| Thought that I would surely freeze | H |
| Old Jack Frost just caught me by | G |
| Both my legs began to squeeze | H |
| And then I began to cry | G |
| I just helloed and the boy | I |
| Helloed too until a man | J |
| With a dinner pail or can | J |
| Heard us and cried out 'Ahoy | B |
| What 've you run into ' Then ran | J |
| Till he got there to our joy | I |
| He just took me round the waist | K |
| Lifted me as easy so | L |
| Then he said 'I think by Joe | L |
| You two boys were both in haste | K |
| To go skating don't you know | L |
| Better wait till summer's chased | K |
| 'Where you live eh ' And I told | M |
| 'Well we'll have to hurry Come | N |
| Old Jack Frost has nipped my thumb | N |
| I shall have an awful cold | M |
| And suppose that you'll have some | N |
| Can't be helped Hope Ma won't scold | M |
| 'My but you're a mighty fine | O |
| Little boy Remind me of | P |
| One at home my own I love | P |
| Eyes just like yours clear as wine | O |
| There now I have lost my glove | P |
| You're just like that boy of mine | O |
| 'Wish he knew you Got blue eyes | Q |
| Same as yours and same brown hair | R |
| But he's crippled Has a chair | R |
| Where he sits all day or lies | Q |
| 'He's our only love and care' | R |
| So his mother says then cries | Q |
| 'Here's your street and here's your home | S |
| Run 'long to your mother Then | T |
| I'll be seeing you again | T |
| So long Hope the day will come | N |
| My boy'll be like you young men | T |
| Straight and strong and mettlesome ' | C |
| Then he went and man alive | U |
| I felt sorrier for that man | J |
| With his battered dinner can | J |
| And his crippled boy than I've | U |
| Ever felt And I began | J |
| Crying and then made a dive | U |
| For the back door Won't forget | V |
| All the fuss there first they told | M |
| Mother and how she did scold | M |
| Father said 'This getting wet | V |
| Will I'm sure give you a cold ' | C |
| But I have n't had it yet | V |
