He's down under the prison in the dim,

With quicklime working on him to the bone,

The flesh I made with many and many a groan.

Oh, how his little face come, with bright hair,

Dear little face. We made this room so snug;

He sit beside me in his little chair,

I give him real tea sometimes in his mug.

He liked the velvet in the patchwork rug.

He used to stroke it, did my pretty son,

He called it Bunny, little Jimmie done.
