Confusion.
Oh, get me a bonnet, a bonnet of milk,
And cook me a supper of velvet and silk;
With pen, ink, and paper, go make a fire good,
And I'll write you a letter on coal and with wood.
And cook me a supper of velvet and silk;
With pen, ink, and paper, go make a fire good,
And I'll write you a letter on coal and with wood.
How I love to see children with cheeks black as sloes,
And their shoes nicely washed, looking red as a rose;
Dressed up in their lessons, when going to school,
With their shawls and their tippets all learned to a rule!
And their shoes nicely washed, looking red as a rose;
Dressed up in their lessons, when going to school,
With their shawls and their tippets all learned to a rule!
