James Whitcomb Riley - Granny lyrics

Granny's come to our house, And ho! my lawzy-daisy! All the childern round the place Is ist a-runnin' crazy! Fetched a cake fer little Jake, And fetched a pie fer Nanny, And fetched a pear fer all the pack That runs to kiss their Granny! Lucy Ellen's in her lap, And Wade and Silas Walker Both's a-ridin' on her foot, And 'Pollos on the rocker; And Marthy's twins, from Aunt Marinn's, And little Orphant Annie, All's a-eatin' gingerbread And giggle-un at Granny! Tells us all the fairy tales Ever thought er wundered — And 'bundance o' other stories — Bet she knows a hunderd! — Bob's the one fer "Whittington," And "Golden Locks" fer Fanny! Hear 'em laugh and clap their hands, Listenin' at Granny! "Jack the Giant-k**er" 's good; And "Bean-Stalk" 's another! — So's the one of "Cinderell'" And her old godmother; — That-un's best of all the rest — Bestest one of any, — Where the mices scampers home Like we runs to Granny! Granny's come to our house, Ho! my lawzy-daisy! All the childern round the place Is ist a-runnin' crazy! Fetched a cake fer little Jake, And fetched a pie fer Nanny, And fetched a pear fer all the pack That runs to kiss their Granny!
