But she didn’t work for nothin’,

For we all loved Grandma Brown,

An’ I really think the bluebirds

Had a fondness for her gown.

She was “kind-o’ thick o’ hearin’,”

But she used to say to me,

“I can hear the things a-growin’

Jest as plain as plain can be.”

Then she’d take me up an’ kiss me,

An’ she’d trot me up an’ down,
