First Line: When her little baby frets and cries
Last Line: And oh! There's a spell of sunny weather!
Subject(s): Babies; Infants
When her little baby frets and cries,
The tender-hearted Mrs. Rue
Just wrings her hands, and heaves great sighs,
"Boo-hoo-hoo-o-o!"
And -- she cries, too!
There they sit and cry together,
And oh! there's a spell of rainy weather!
When her little baby frets and cries,
The tender-hearted Mrs. True
Just laughs with her mouth, and smiles with
her eyes, --
"Cock-adoo-doo-o-o!"
And -- baby laughs, too!
There they sit and crow together,
And oh! there's a spell of sunny weather!
