| Lord how I was proud of them | B |
| Each the image of the other | A |

| 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 |

| And I love them equal well | L |
| Saint and sinner call me mother | A |
| Ain't heredity just hell | L |
