Pull up your stockings darling
Put this cardboard in your shoes
Pull up your stockings darling
Put this cardboard in your shoes
Here's a biscuit for your lunch my dear
Now don't be late for school

Sister, mamma cannot see us
Roll our stockings down to bobby socks
Mamma cannot see us
Roll them down to bobby socks
We're almost to school, sister
Let down your pretty curls and locks

There's a pot of beans on the stove
Mamma hung washing on the line
Beans simmerin' on the stove
Mamma hung washing on the line
I know it must be Monday
That's how we keep track of time

Brothers are home from hunting
Left a brace of rabbits in the brine
Brothers are home from hunting
Left a mess a jacks soakin' in the brine
Chickens are for layin' and Sundays
We're havin' jack rabbit one more time

Daddy's sleepin' on the porch
Oh child, don't you make a sound
Daddy's sleepin' on the porch
Child, don't you make a sound
Let him sober up and roll a cigarette
Before he heads back to town

Pull up your stockings darling
Put this cardboard in your shoes
Pull up your stockings darling
Put this cardboard in your shoes
There's a butter 'n sugar sandwich
Waitin' for you after school

Jag älskar dig
