Efry mornings dot young Shonny—

Und does his chores oup righdt avay;
For he gan vork so vell as blay,—

Mine Katrina says to Shonny,
"Shonny Schwartz,
Helb your barents all you gan,
For dis life vas bud a shban:
Py und py you'll been a man,
Shonny Schwartz."

Vhere he alvays minds der rule!
For he vas nopody's fool,—
Shonny Schwartz.

Und dot Time vould not annoy

Und baddle, den, your own canoe,

Shonny Schwartz:
Life's voyich vill pe quickly o'er;
Und den ubon dot bedder shore
Ve'll meet again, to bart no more,
Shonny Schwartz.
