Jane was a Neighbor

1.

Oh, Jane was a neighbor for six months or more,
Till the neighbors grew weary and left her alone.

2.

" Oh neighbor, oh neighbor, oh neighbor, " said she,
" Won't you send for my father to come and see me? "

3.

Her father was sent for, and immejitly came;
Settin' down by the bedside, — " What's the matter of Jane? "

4.

Then she cried and she murmured till she wept her heart sore,
Saying: " The red rose of England shall flourish no more! "

5.

" Oh father, oh father, oh father, " said she,
" Won't you send for my mother to come and see me? "

6.

Her mother was sent for, and immejitly came;
Settin' down by the bedside, " What's the matter of Jane? "
