AUNTIE NELL
We have to stay in bed
Till Auntie comes up-stairs;
And then we cluster round her knees
To say our prayers.
Till Auntie comes up-stairs;
And then we cluster round her knees
To say our prayers.
And after asking God
To keep us good and sweet,
Dear Nursie does her very best
To make us neat.
To keep us good and sweet,
Dear Nursie does her very best
To make us neat.
But if we go a walk,
Or ride the pony Bell,
It is not fun unless we have
Our Auntie Nell.
Or ride the pony Bell,
It is not fun unless we have
Our Auntie Nell.

We look in every room,
But Mother is not there;
She's never, never in the house,
Or anywhere.
But Mother is not there;
She's never, never in the house,
Or anywhere.
Yet, Daddy says, some day
We'll find her bright and well;
Till then we must contrive to do
With Auntie Nell.
We'll find her bright and well;
Till then we must contrive to do
With Auntie Nell.
