Rhyme Scheme: ABABACAC DCDCECEC FGFGHCIC JKJKALAL| Of twin daughters I'm the mother | A |
| Lord how I was proud of them | B |
| Each the image of the other | A |
| Like two lilies on one stem | B |
| But while May my first born daughter | A |
| Was angelic from the first | C |
| Different as wine and water | A |
| Maude my second seemed accurst | C |
| - | |
| I'm a tender hearted dame | D |
| Military is my bent | C |
| Thus my pretty dears can claim | D |
| For their Pa the Regiment | C |
| As they say to err is human | E |
| But though lots of love I've had | C |
| I'm an ordinary women | E |
| Just as good as I am bad | C |
| - | |
| Good and bad should find their level | F |
| So I often wonder why | G |
| May was angel Maude was devil | F |
| Yet between the two was I | G |
| May they say has taken vows | H |
| Sister Mary pure and sweet | C |
| Maudie's in a bawdy house | I |
| Down in Mariposa Street | C |
| - | |
| It's not natural I'm thinking | J |
| One should pray the other curse | K |
| I'm so worried I am drinking | J |
| Which is making matters worse | K |
| Yet my daughters love each other | A |
| And I love them equal well | L |
| Saint and sinner call me mother | A |
| Ain't heredity just hell | L |
