The “Cryalot” Girl

The “Cryalot Girl” is a wee little maid

     Whom nobody likes to live near;

She whimpers and sighs, and fusses and cries,

     Every day thro’ the whole long year.

And she cries at night when she goes to bed,

     And she cries when she wakes from sleep;

And she cries all day in the self-same way,

     Till her tears they are ankle deep.

This “Cryalot Girl” if she cries much more

     Will cause all the people to drown;

Or else by the by if they wish to keep dry

     They’ll have to sail boats thro’ the town.

O naughty indeed, is the “Cryalot Girl”,

     Whom nobody likes to live near;

For she cries and cries like the rainy day skies,

     Every day thro’ the whole long year.
