(As He Wrote It)

Myrtilla’s mouth is small and red,
Her eyes are big and blue,
The hair is golden on her head,
Her skin is creamy hue

Myrtilla’s mouth is small and red,
Her eyes are big and blue,
The hair is creamy on her head,
Her skin a golden hue

(As Copied by a Southern Paper)

Myrtilla’s eyes are small and red,
Her mouth is big and blue,
The hair is creamy on her head,
Her skin a golden hue

(As Copied by a Western Paper)

My tailor’s eyes are small and red,
His mouth is big and blue,
The hair is creamy on his head,
His skin a golden hue
