Once there lived side by side, two little maids, Used to dress just alike, hair down in braids, Blue ging'am pinafores, stockings of red, Little sun bonnets tied on each pretty head. When school was over secrets they'd tell, Whispering arm in arm, down by the well, One day a quarrel came, hot tears were shed: "You can't play in our yard," but the other said: |
Next day two little maids each other miss, Quarrels are soon made up, sealed with a kiss, Then hand in hand again, happy they go. Friends all through life to be, they love each other so. Soon school days pass away, sorrows and bliss but love remembers yet, quarrels and kiss, In sweet dreams of childhood, we hear the cry: "You can't play in our yard," and the old reply: |
|
Refrain: I don't want to play in your yard, I don't like you anymore, You'll be sorry when you see me, Sliding down our cellar door, You can't holler down our rainbarrel, You can't climb our apple tree, I don't want to play in your yard, If you won't be good to me. |
|
See, see my playmate, Come out and play with me And bring your dollies three Climb up my apple tree Holler down my rain barrel Slide down my cellar door And we'll be jolly friends Forever evermore. Oh no my playmate I can't come play with you My dollies have the flu Boo hoo boo hoo Can't holler down rain barrels Or slide down a cellar door But we'll be jolly friends Forever evermore. Say, say, my playmate Don't come and play with me Don't bring your dollies three Cut down my apple tree Fall off my rainbow, Into my cellar door And we'll be enemies Forever evermore. |
Say, say my enemy. Come out and fight with me. And bring your bulldogs three. Climb up my sticker tree. Slide down my lightning. Into my dungeon door And we'll be jolly enemies Forever evermore. Say say old enemy Come out and fight with me And bring your bb gun And we'll have lots of fun I'll scratch your eyes out And make you bleed to death And we'll be jolly enemies Forever evermore. Oh little enemy, I cannot fight with you, My mommy said not too Boo hoo hoo hoo I can't scratch your eyes out And make you bleed to death But we'll be jolly enemies Forever evermore. |
