someone did shoot my daddy

right through sara chickering’s door.

and my daddy did have so much

blood rushing out of him

and sara chickering did leave me alone with my daddy

and i had so quiet talkings to my daddy and

sittings on the floor

next to his poor head

and he did listen to every thing i did whisper in his big white ear

but he had the bad kinds of breathings

and all the blood kept

rushing out of my daddy

and the bullet went clink in

the water pail.
