A neighbor of mine in the village
Likes to tell how one spring
When she was a girl on the farm, she did
A childlike thing
One day she asked her father
To give her a garden plot
To plant and tend and reap herself
And he said, "Why not?"
In casting about for a corner
He thought of an idle bit
Of walled-off ground where a shop had stood
And he said, "Just it."
And he said, "That ought to make you
An ideal one-girl farm
And give you a chance to put some strength
On your slim-jim arm."
It was not enough of a garden
Her father said, to plough;
So she had to work it all by hand
But she don't mind now
She wheeled the dung in the wheelbarrow
Along a stretch of road;
But she always ran away and left
Her not-nice load
Likes to tell how one spring
When she was a girl on the farm, she did

One day she asked her father
To give her a garden plot
To plant and tend and reap herself
And he said, "Why not?"

He thought of an idle bit
Of walled-off ground where a shop had stood
And he said, "Just it."
And he said, "That ought to make you

And give you a chance to put some strength
On your slim-jim arm."
It was not enough of a garden
Her father said, to plough;
So she had to work it all by hand
But she don't mind now
She wheeled the dung in the wheelbarrow
Along a stretch of road;
But she always ran away and left
Her not-nice load
