Show WHEN I TRY TO SCOLD Im I'm not much good at scolding and Til tell the reason why I just cant can't stand to see her when she puckers up I to cry en Now her her- mother can control her but t the minute that I 1 speak A sharply to her all aU the sunshine leaves her cheek S SAnd And her lips draw down in terror and a big tear fills flUs her eye And I Just go all aU to pieces when she puckers un to cry S I TW s the same thing with with- her brother lIe He could laugh his mother down clown And he wasn't scare scared l o of ot scolding and ant he didn't mind her frown And hed he'd never make malce a whimper when shed she'd tell him what was what But if It Id I'd snap out an order hed he'd stand rooted to toto toto toto to the spot I As if it thunder bolts had fallen from a lear clear leat S and sunny sky And joud you'd think his heart was broken as he puckered up to cry C Now she's Just the picture of him as he was at three old years yeal'S Just as full of ot life and mischief And th theres there's res re's times I ought to scold But the first sharp word I 1 utter seems to terrify her so For her lips begin to tremble and the tears begin I to flow And I say cay Oh Ob I can cant can't t do Jt Its It's no use for forme forme forme me to try I For I Just go all to pieces when she puckers up to cry I.
