[Jerusha Abbot]:
Who is this man?
Who has designed this uncommon plan
To educate Jerusha
However best he can How can this be?
Who would take on this uncertainty
To educate Jerusha
Who in heavens name is he I guess I'll never know him
I guess I'll never even learn his name
These are his orders
This is his game I guess I'll never know him
You mustn't know your betters
But he will know me in letters
And though I might Thank him twice each and every night
He will never answer
No Mr. Smith will never write
I guess I'll never know him Though I am rather curious to see
What kind of man would educate me?
I guess I'll never know him
You mustn't know your betters But he will know me in letters
This man will never write me
I cannot outguess him
So how should I address him?
