Rye whiskey, rye whiskey,

Ain‘t no friend of mine,

Ho ki11ed~ my old daddy.

And he injured my mind.
(Following is a wong she learned. as a child)

Rain, rain, rain all arouz4 ~

Ain‘t goin‘ rain no more

And what did the blackbird say to the crow?

You bring rain, and I‘ll bring snow


Rain, rain, rain all around

Aint goin‘ a~raia no more

Old Hawk and buzzard went to roost

The hawk came back with a loosened tooth.


Rain, rain, rain all around

Ain‘t goin‘ a-rain no mors

I had an old hat and it had a crown1

Look like a duck‘s neet sittin‘ on the ground1
Rain, rain, rain all aro~ind1 Ain‘t gem‘ a-rain no mors ~


~ (Following is a speech she gave as a small child);
