"Mother, Make Me a Cambric Shirt." Contributed by Mrs. John W. Wright, of Aurora, Indiana. Dearborn County. January 17, 1936.
1. "Mother, make me a cambric shirt,
Fom a nomanee, cast nomanee, Without a stitch of needlework,
Keely ope, keely ope, patalai, patempali, Fom a nomanee, cast nomanee.
2. "Wash it out in an old dry well,
Fom a nomanee, cast nomanee, Where a drop of water never fell,
Keely ope, keely ope, patalai, patempali, Fom a nomanee, cast nomanee.
3. "Hang it out on an old bush thorn,
Fom a nomanee, cast nomanee, Where the sun never shone since Adam was born, Keely ope, keely ope, patalai, patempali, Fom a nomanee, cast nomanee.
4. "Mother, buy me an acre of land,
Fom a nomanee, cast nomanee, By the sea sea-shore, by the sea sea-sand, Keely ope, keely ope, patalai, patempali, Fom a nomanee, cast nomanee.
5. "Mother, plant me an acre of corn,
Fom a nomanee, cast nomanee, And plow it up with an old ram's horn, Keely ope, keely ope, patalai, patempali, Fom a nomanee, cast nomanee. |
