I worked for a woman，
She wasn't mean
But she had a twelve-room
House to clean.
Had to get breakfast，
Dinner， and supper， too
Then take care of her children
When I got through.
Wash， iron， and scrub，
Walk the dog around
It was too much，
Nearly broke me down.
I said， Madam，
Can it be
You trying to make a
Pack-horse out of me？
She opened her mouth.
She cried， Oh， no！
You know， Alberta，
I love you so！
I said， Madam，
That may be true
But I'll be dogged
If I love you！
