| While for me gapes the greedy grave | B |
| It don't make sense | C |
| That I should have a crazy crave | B |
| To paint our fence | C |
| Yet that is what I aim to do | D |
| Though dim my sight | E |
| Jest paint them aged pickets blue | D |
| Or green or white | E |
| - | |
| Jest squat serenely in the sun | F |
| Wi' brush an' paint | G |
| An' gay them pickets one by one | F |
| A chore It ain't | G |
| The job is joy Although I'm slow | H |
| I save expense | C |
| So folks let me before I go | H |
| Smart that ol' fence | C |
| - | |
| Them pickets with my hands I made | I |
| When young and spry | J |
| I coloured them a gleeful shade | I |
| To glad the eye | J |
| So now as chirpy as a boy | K |
| 'Ere I go hence | C |
| Once more let me jest bright to joy | K |
| Our picket fence | C |
