BROWN BETTY. 



t|0 gather the apples that red ripe are lying, 



And cut all the cores and the peelings away ; 



Then slice them, just as one would slice them for frying, 

 And we'll bake a brown betty for dinner to-day. 



Then get a deep pan, with a close fitting cover. 

 Alternately apples and crumbs in it lay ; 

 With sugar and cinnamon sprinkle them over, 

 O, we'll bake a brown betty for dinner to-day. 



Now go, fill the pitcher with milk that is creaming, 

 And carry brown betty along on a tray ; 



An odor deliciously spicy comes steaming — 

 O, we'll have a grand feast on Miss Betty to-day. 



— Rose Langtry.
