Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Old man 'badiah/Jumped in the fire
Poor old lady maria, she jumped in the fire.
the fire was so hot, she jumped in the pot.
the pot was so black, she jumped in the crack.
the crack was so high, she jumped in the sky.
the sky was so blue, she jumped in the canoe.
the canoe was so shallow, she jumped in the tallow.
the tallow was so rotten, she jumped in the cotton.
the cotton was so white, she stayed all night.
the night was so dark, she stepped on a fork.
the fork was so round, she went into town.
the town was so big, she found a pig.
the pig was so red, she jumped in the bed.
the bed was so hard, she jumped in the lard.
the lard was so greasy, she slipped out easy.
poor old lady maria...

My old great grandma told me this when i was young... she was born before the 1900's.
