Mom said to James
Morrison Morrison
Weatherby Goerge Dupree
"I know you said I should never go down
Unless I was going with thee"
But a mother must do what a mother must
"So, James." she said, said she
"I had to go down to the end of town
"To rescue that vile Rapparee!"

So james James
Morrison Morrison
Weatherby Goerge Dupree
Looked at his mother with a tear in his eye
And replied, "Yes, Mother, I see!"
"If it weren't for the roguish ways of that sot,
Your heart would be light, and free.
And now that I'm four and I know what's what
I curse for eternity
That ne'er-do-well, Rapparee!"
