Wunst I sassed my Pa, an' he Won't stand that, an' punished me, -- Nen when he was gone that day, I slipped out an' runned away.
I tooked all my copper-cents, An' clumbed over our back fence In the jimpson-weeds 'at growed Ever'where all down the road.
Nen I got out there, an' nen I runned some -- an' runned again When I met a man 'at led A big cow 'at shooked her head.
I _Want_ to, but I'm 'fraid to try To go back. An' by-an'-by Somepin' hurts my throat inside -- An' I want my Ma -- an' cried.
Nen a grea'-big girl come through Where's a gate, an' telled me who Am I? an' ef I tell where My home's at she'll show me there.
But I couldn't ist but tell What's my _name_; an' she says well, An' she tooked me up an' says _She_ know where I live, she guess.
Nen she telled me hug wite close Round her neck! -- an' off she goes Skippin' up the street! An' nen Purty soon I'm home again.
An' my Ma, when she kissed me, Kissed the _big girl_ too, an' _she_ Kissed me -- ef I p'omise _shore_ I won't run away no more!
