And a smile they made in heaven,
Just for dear old Grandma Brown.
’Twould have done you good to ’ve seen her
Settin’ out there in the sun,
Jest to keep the hens from scratchin’
When the plantin’ was begun.
An’ she allus took her knittin’,
Jest to pass the time away,
Or some darnin’ for the neighbors,
An’ she didn’t work for pay.
