Mamma's Darling

Title:     Mamma's Darling
Author: Thomas W. Talley [More Titles by Talley]

Wid flowers on my shoulders,
An' wid slippers on my feet;
I'se my mammy's darlin'.
Don't you think I'se sweet?

I wish I had a fourpence,
Den I mought use a dime.
I wish I had a Sweetheart,
To kiss me all de time.

I has apples on de table,
An' I has peaches on de shelf;
But I wish I had a husband--
I'se so tired stayin' to myself.

[The end]
Thomas W. Talley's poem: Mamma's Darling
