First verse is the same in the one I know and then: One day she wents upstairs, When her parents, unawares, In the kitchen were occupied with meals. She stood upon her head in her little trundle-bed, And then began hooraying with her heels. Her mother heard the noise And she tough it was the boys, A-playing at a combet in the attic, But when she climbed the stair, She found Jemima there, And she took her and did spank her most emphatic.
