My mother she's so good to me,
- if I was good as I could be,
- I couldn't be as goodno sir!
- Can't any boy be good as her!
- She loves me when I'm glad er sad;
- she loves me when I'm good er bad;
- An', what's a funniest thing, she says
- she loves me when she punishes.
- I don't like her to punish me.
- That don't hurt, but it hurts to see
- Her cryin'. Nen I cry; en' nen
- we both cry and be good again.
- She loves me when she cuts en' sews
- my little cloak an' Sund'y clothes;
- An' when my Pa comes home to tea,
- she loves him most as much as me.
- She laughs an' tells him all I said,
- an' grabs me up an' pats my head;
- An' I hug her, an' hug my Pa
- an' love him purt' nigh as much as Ma.
- I couldn't be as goodno sir!
