A neighbor of mine in the villageA
Likes to tell how one springB
When she was a girl on the farm she didC
A childlike thingB
-
One day she asked her fatherD
To give her a garden plotE
To plant and tend and reap herselfF
And he said Why notE
-
In casting about for a cornerD
-
Of walled off ground where a shop had stoodG
And he said Just itH
-
And he said That ought to make youI
An ideal one girl farmJ
And give you a chance to put some strengthK
On your slim jim armJ
-
It was not enough of a gardenL
Her father said to ploughM
So she had to work it all by handN
-
-
She wheeled the dung in the wheelbarrowO
Along a stretch of roadP
But she always ran away and leftQ
Her not nice loadP
-
And hid from anyone passingB
And then she begged the seedR
She says she thinks she planted oneL
Of all things but weedR
-
A hill each of potatoesS
-
Tomatoes beets beans pumpkins cornT
And even fruit treesU
-
And yes she has long mistrustedC
That a cider apple treeV
In bearing there to day is hersW
Or at least may beV
-
Her crop was a miscellanyV
When all was said and doneL
A little bit of everythingB
-
-
Now when she sees in the villageA
How village things goO
Just when it seems to come in rightX
She says I knowO
-
It's as when I was a farmerD
Oh never by way of adviceY
And she never sins by telling the taleZ
To the same person twiceY
