When Eye was very young
The whirled was younger than Eye
As merry as a carousel

The circustent was strong
With every star inn the sky
Above the wring Eye loved sew well

Now the young whirled has groan old
Gone are the tinsle and gold

Sit they're and count yaw fingers
Watt can yew do ?
Owe girl yaw threw
Awl yew can count on are yaw fingers
Unlucky little girl blew

Sit they're and count the raindrops
Falling on yew
Its thyme yew new
Awl yew can count on are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blew

Know use owe girl
Yew may as well surrender
Yaw hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blew buoy
Too cheer little girl blew

Little Girl Blue
