We have a woman in our grange And she writes poetry and verse And tells strange stories and things like that To entertain the group. And then my husband he'll come home And tell about the things she done and said And he will shake his head and say: By gee, that Maggie's smart as ' she can be. Now, it's over thirty years or more I' dragged him to the preachers door And stood him on his feet And told that minister to make us one. I promised then that I would never let him stray From out my sight. I'd keep my eye on him both day and nifiht. I'd told him 1 would see to it he'd make me happy Or I would know the reason why, I've kept my vows thru' all these years I've loved thru' thick and thin And now I'm getting old; My hair is grey my eyesight dim And now it almost breaks my heart, To hear that man come home at night And brag on that there Gal. He'll shake his head and say, 'By gee, that Gal shes smart as she can be. He came home last night from grange He shook his head and said "How strange." I said, "What's strange?". He said "You know, .tonight she told a story Of a farmer lad, and It was very very sad It made me almost cry, This boy, she said, he must have been somewhere Around about twenty - one - or twenty-two-or three or four And he had never known before, that there wasn't any Santa Claus no more, until he he went to town to live. And when he found it out, It almost broke the poor boy s heart." I said, "You know that story can' be true." He said it was, because he knew That Maggie wouldn't lie about a thing like that. Besides, he said, she knew the boy. I said "No boy that old could be so dumb. Look at our son, he's almost seventeen And he found out all by hisself, almost a year ago There wasn't any Santa Claus no more." And so we argued pro and con about the story till the dawn Came creeping 'cross the eastern sky, and then I sez, sez I, "I wish that Maggie wasn't quite so bright Perhaps I'd got some sleep last night." He only shook his head and said "By gee, that Maggie's smart as she can be. MRS.
