THE LAYABOUT
Gâtineau isn't dead,
He is sick in bed.
Gâtineau isn't dead,
He is asleep in bed.
LEARNING, YOU WILL KNOW
Learning, you will know.
If you know, you will be able.
If you are able, you will want.
If you want, you will be well.
If you are well, you will do well.
If you do well, God will see.
If God sees, you will have good health
In everything always.
JEANETTE'S SONG
Jeannette is my name,
I don't know my lessons.
Mama, sing me a song,
So that I can learn its tone,
And when people ask me,
If I've learned my lessons,
I can say to them truly:
Jeannette is my name,
And I know a song.
