SONGS FOR THE

homes canine

BUSY LITTLE HUSBAND.AAN.
I’m a little husbandman,

Work and labor hard I can;

I’m as happy all the day

At my work as if ’t were play:
Though I’ve nothing fine to wear,
Yet for that I do not care.

When to work I go along,
Singing loud my morning song,
With my wallet on my back,
And my wagon-whip to crack,
Oh, I’m thrice as happy then

As the idle gentleman.

I’ve a hearty appetite

And I soundly sleep at night ;
Down I lie content, and say
I’ve been useful all the day:
I’d rather be a ploughboy, than
A useless little gentleman.

BE POLITE.
Good boys and girls should never say,
“T will,” and, “ Give me these :”
O no; that never is the way,
But, “ Mother, if you please.”
