Language — DOMESTIC INDUSTRY. 
The olcl lady sat in her rocking chair — 
Darn, darn, darn ; 
The fire was bright and the night was fair — 
Darn, darn, darn; 
The stocking was old, and the heel was worn, 
But she was well furnished with needle and yarn, 
And well she knew how the heel to turn — 
Darn, darn, darn. 
She had sat in her chair from morn till night_ 
Darn, darn, darn; 
And still her eye was watchful and bright — 
Darn, darn, darn; 
For well she used her needle to ply, 
And every hole in a stocking could spy — 
Darn, darn, darn. 
Young ladies, if ever you hope to be wives, 
Darn, darn, darn; 
For many a call you wifi have in your lives, 
Darn, darn, darn; 
Would you keep your children neat and clean? 
Would you save their toes from frostbites keen ? 
Then never believe that darnings are mean_ 
But darn, darn, darn.
