Two Little Girls
Two little girls are swinging
Up in the tree top high;
Two little voices singing,
"Rockabye, baby, bye."
Up in the tree top high;
Two little voices singing,
"Rockabye, baby, bye."
Wild as the woods around them,
Free as the birds of the air,
Not a thought of danger
Not a single care.
Free as the birds of the air,
Not a thought of danger
Not a single care.
Nature's joyous children,
Slowly to and fro,
Sway with the slender tree top;
Softly the breezes blow,
Slowly to and fro,
Sway with the slender tree top;
Softly the breezes blow,
Kissing the glowing faces;
Tossing the sunlit curls;
Hark! 'tis a father calling,
"Down from there, quick, you girls."
Tossing the sunlit curls;
Hark! 'tis a father calling,
"Down from there, quick, you girls."
Two little girls are standing,
Arms extended wide,
"Teeter—teetertotter,"
Up and down they ride,
Arms extended wide,
"Teeter—teetertotter,"
Up and down they ride,
On a board well balanced
Top of the high rail fence.
Now, calls a frightened mother,
"Girls, you will break your necks."
Top of the high rail fence.
Now, calls a frightened mother,
"Girls, you will break your necks."
