MaryB

Which cupboard mother dearC

MotherA
-
The cupboard of red mahoganyB
With handles shining clearC
-
MaryB
-
That cupboard dearest motherA
With shining crystal handlesD
There's nought inside but rags and jagsE
And yellow tallow candlesD

MotherA
-
What's in that cupboard MaryB
-
MaryB
-
Which cupboard mother mineF
-
MotherA
-
That cupboard stands in your sunny chamberA
The silver corners shineF
-
MaryB
-
There's nothing there inside motherA
But wool and thread and flaxG
And bits of faded silk and velvetH
And candles of white waxG
-
MotherA
-
What's in that cupboard MaryB
And this time tell me trueI
-
MaryB
-
White clothes for an unborn baby motherA
But what's the truth to youI
