LITTLE-GIRL-TWO-LITTLE-GIRLS

Reading edition

I'm twins, I guess, 'cause my Ma say I'm two little girls. An' one o' me Is Good little girl; an' th'other 'n' she Is Bad little girl as she can be! An' Ma say so, 'most ever' day. An' she's the funniest Ma! 'Cause when My Doll won't mind, an' I ist cry, W'y, nen my Ma she sob an' sigh, An' say, "Dear Good little girl, good-bye!— Bad little girl's comed here again!" Last time 'at Ma act' thataway, I cried all to myse'f awhile Out on the steps, an' nen I smile, An' git my Doll all fix' in style, An' go in where Ma's at, an' say: "Morning to you, Mommy dear! Where's that Bad little girl wuz here? Bad little girl's goned clean away, An' Good little girl's comed back to stay."
