Willie's Easter.
Reading edition
When Easter Sunday comes along I hunt and hunt so hard, And find a nest of rabbit eggs Out yonder in the yard; They're red and yellow, blue and green, All colored every way, And when the rabbits lay their eggs I know it's Easter day. My Mamma cooks a lot of eggs For little Bud and me, And says for us to eat ourselves As full as we can be; And then we go to dress ourselves, And find in every shoe, The rabbits left a pile of eggs As Easter rabbits do. And Mamma tells us of the Christ Who came to earth and died, And was so good in all he did He soon got crucified; But when they took him from the Cross And buried him away, He came to life and rose again And started Easter day. And Mamma has some lilies, too, And glad flowers of the spring, And tells us how the world wakes up, And tells the birds to sing: And I like Easter mighty well, But what is best, I say, Is when you find the rabbit eggs And know it's Easter day!
