Mamma's Darling




From: NURSERY RHYME SECTION

An' wid slippers on my feet;
I'se my mammy's darlin'.
Don't you think I'se sweet?

I wish I had a fourpence,
Den I mought use a dime.

To kiss me all de time.

An' I has peaches on de shelf;
But I wish I had a husband--
I'se so tired stayin' to myself.
