LITTLE-GIRL-TWO-LITTLE-GIRLS
I'm twins, I guess, 'cause my Ma say
I'm two little girls. An' one o' me
Is Good little girl; an' th' other 'n' she
Is Bad little girl as she can be!
An' Ma say so, 'most ever' day.
An' she's the funniest Ma! 'Cause when
My Doll won't mind, and I ist cry,
W'y, nen my Ma she sob an' sigh,
An' say, “Dear Good little girl, good-by!—
Bad little girl's comed here again!”
I'm two little girls. An' one o' me
Is Good little girl; an' th' other 'n' she
Is Bad little girl as she can be!

My Doll won't mind, and I ist cry,
W'y, nen my Ma she sob an' sigh,
An' say, “Dear Good little girl, good-by!—
Bad little girl's comed here again!”
Last time 'at Ma act' thataway,
I cried all to myse'f a while
Out on the steps, an' nen I smile,
An' git my Doll all fix' in style,
An' go in where Ma's at, an' say:
“Morning to you, Mommy dear!
Where's that Bad little girl wuz here?
Bad little girl's goned clean away,
An' Good little girl's comed back to stay.”
