Classic Poem

Dance a baby diddy,
What can mammy do wid 'e,
But sit in her lap,
And give 'un some pap,
And dance a baby diddy?

Smile, my baby bonny,
What will time bring on 'e?
Sorrow and care,
Frowns and grey hair,
So smile, my baby bonny.

Laugh, my baby beauty,
What will time do to ye?
Furrow your cheek,
Wrinkle your neck,
So laugh, my baby beauty.

Dance, my baby deary,
Mother will never be weary;
Frolic and play,
Now while you may,
So dance, my baby deary.
