But she’s gone on into glory
To soar the golden way,
She knows no sorrow like mother and father
For their darling Edna May.
Though on and on through the distant years,
When mother and father are old and gray,
Christmas brings saddest memories
Of their darling Edna May.
LIFE’S PRETTY WAY
Oh! how nice
When the sun is shining bright,
To take a long walk
While breezes blow light.
It revives your soul,
Your heart is gay
Strolling the road
Of life’s pretty way.
You’ll walk on the grass
So beautiful and green,
And gone art your memories
Of the past winter’s scene.
You’ll enjoy all the love
In this bright summer’s day,
Wandering the road
Of life’s pretty way.

To stood be fo sich coteligent audance, dat it makes me base my talk, down
Around John’s tato-pach about de third or de fouf hill, am, am, am.

And I want all yo colored citisans tu fall rite in line,
Don’t bother den slackers cause yo nearins’ dangers do,
Dis am de only country dat any uv us know.
Stah wah dem Germans cause dah puts foolness in yo head,
Gis reach up an kiss O Glorie an wish de Kaiser am dead.
