I ‘m sitting on the doorstep,
and I’m eating bread and jam
and I’m not a-crying really,
though I ‘spects you think I am.
I can hear the children playing,
but they say they don’t want me,
‘cos my legs are rather little
and I run so slow you see.
So, I’m sitting on the doorstep,
and I’m eating bread and jam,
And I’m not a-crying really,
though I ‘spects you think I am.
Marion St John Webb – 1914
