Elsie Marley is Grown so Fine

Elsie Marley is Grown so Fine - Mama Lisa's House of English Nursery Rhymes, Intro Image


Elsie Marley is grown so fine,
She won't get up to feed the swine,
But lies in bed till eight or nine.
Lazy Elsie Marley.

Notes

Here's a variation:

Elsie Marley has grown so fine,
She won't get up to serve the swine;
But lies in bed till eight or nine,
And surely she does take her time.
