Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE D GH IJKJ LMN OPQP BRLR S TU CVWV VLB AOXO DYZY| A neighbor of mine in the village | A |
| Likes to tell how one spring | B |
| When she was a girl on the farm she did | C |
| A childlike thing | B |
| - | |
| One day she asked her father | D |
| To give her a garden plot | E |
| To plant and tend and reap herself | F |
| And he said Why not | E |
| - | |
| In casting about for a corner | D |
| - | |
| Of walled off ground where a shop had stood | G |
| And he said Just it | H |
| - | |
| And he said That ought to make you | I |
| An ideal one girl farm | J |
| And give you a chance to put some strength | K |
| On your slim jim arm | J |
| - | |
| It was not enough of a garden | L |
| Her father said to plough | M |
| So she had to work it all by hand | N |
| - | |
| - | |
| She wheeled the dung in the wheelbarrow | O |
| Along a stretch of road | P |
| But she always ran away and left | Q |
| Her not nice load | P |
| - | |
| And hid from anyone passing | B |
| And then she begged the seed | R |
| She says she thinks she planted one | L |
| Of all things but weed | R |
| - | |
| A hill each of potatoes | S |

| - | |
| And yes she has long mistrusted | C |
| That a cider apple tree | V |
| In bearing there to day is hers | W |
| Or at least may be | V |
| - | |
| Her crop was a miscellany | V |
| When all was said and done | L |
| A little bit of everything | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| Now when she sees in the village | A |
| How village things go | O |
| Just when it seems to come in right | X |
| She says I know | O |
| - | |
| It's as when I was a farmer | D |
| Oh never by way of advice | Y |
| And she never sins by telling the tale | Z |
| To the same person twice | Y |
