Kat Lyr Req: I don't wanna play in your yard! (5) 'I don't wanna play in your yard!' 13 Mar 99


Need completed words to a song passed down from my great-grandmother through all of us, starts like this:

"Once there lived side by side, two little maids,
Used to dress just alike, hair down in braids.
Blue gingham pinafores, stockings of red,
Little sunbonnets tied 'round each little head.

When school was over, secrets they'd tell
Wandering arm-in-arm, down by the well
One day a quarrel came, hot tears were shed.
"You can't play in my yard!" and the other said,

CHORUS: "I don't wanna play in your yard, I don't love you anymore!
You'll be sorry when you see me, sliding down my cellar door!
You can't holler down my rainbarrel, you can't climb my apple tree!
I don't wanna play in your yard, if you won't be good to me!"

There's another verse, followed by the chorus again, and I can't remember the words. Help!
