Ah long fi see yuh tell ah short!
Whe yuh deh all dis time?
Dah pickinni yah woan go sleep,
She waan me tell her rhyme.

Mary had a little lamb
- Miss Mattie li bwoy Joe
Go kick May slap pon har doorway -
His feet was white as snow.

An everywhere dat Mary went
- Him modder never know,
An when she ear she ongle seh -
De lamb was sure to go.

She ongle seh de bwoy too bad
An tell May nuffi bawl
- Jack an Jill went up de hill -
An dat was all an all.

May rnighta go to hospital
- To catch a pail of water;
Jack fell down an bruck him crown –
Jus like Miss Mattie daughter.

Yuh never know de baby bawn?
Him pa gi him name Marta-
Teng God him drop eento a doze
- An.lill come tumblin after.
