First she come to our house, Tommy run and hid; And Emily and Bob and me We cried jus' like we did When Mother died, -- and we all said 'At we all wisht 'at we was dead!
And Nurse she couldn't stop us; And Pa he tried and tried, -- We sobbed and shook and wouldn't look, But only cried and cried; And nen some one -- we couldn't jus' Tell who -- was cryin' same as us!
Our Stepmother! Yes, it was her, Her arms around us all -- 'Cause Tom slid down the banister And peeked in from the hall. -- And we all love her, too, because She's purt' nigh good as Mother was!
