I ) ]•: C E M B B R INI) !■: X FOR NINETEEN HUNDRED SIXTEEN Christmas on At Chris ' mas time we alius go To Grandpa ' s farm. We don ' t mind snow. Us boys just laughs and thinks it ' s fun To see our horse. Old Dobbin, run Right through the heaped-up drifts of snoiv, But Pa, he loudly hollers, Whoa! An ' Mary Jane, she takes alarm. An ' fears she ' ll come to serious harm On the ivay to Grandpa ' s farm. the Farm But all too soon, the time goes by, An ' someone then is sure to cry, It ' s time these boys were in their beds. Then we lift up our sleepy heads An ' try to look so wide awake, But Ma, she then her head will shake, Santy Claus will bring no toys If you are disobedient boys Out here on Grandpa ' s farm. An ' when we get there late at night, My. ' but it ' s a mighty cheerful sight To see the bright lights shinin ' out Through the darkness. We give a shout, An ' Grandma opens wide the door. An ' calls, I ' m glad you ' re here before The food ' s stone-cold. Then us boys hops Right from the sleigh before it stops Out at Grandpa ' s farm. An ' then the next day! Oh, what fun! We ' re up before the risin ' sun, A searchin ' through our stoekin ' s. My! They ' re alius heaped up awful high, An ' dinner with turkey, puddin ' an ' pies, An ' everything most beneath the skies. Then after we have had our fill. Us boys go coastin ' on old Boone ' s hill Out near Grandpa ' s farm. But, oh, how that vacation flies! We ' ve hardly time to give two sighs Before the New Year ' s come, and then We ' re hurryin ' back to town again To dig in school the livelong day. An ' never have a chance to play. We wish ' twas Chris ' mas all the year An ' we could alius stay out here On Grandpa ' s farm. Page i eventeen
