Queen Anne Front - Pete Seeger[00:00:01]

When Great Grandfather was a gay young man[00:00:04]

And Great Grandmother was his bride[00:00:08]

They found a lot [00:00:11]

A jolly little spot[00:00:13]

Over on the old North Side[00:00:14]

It sloped down toward the river [00:00:17]

From River Avenue[00:00:20]

Great Grandma said that it would give her[00:00:24]

Such a lovely view[00:00:27]

So they took a look in Godey's Ladies Book[00:00:30]

To see what they could find[00:00:33]

And they found a house [00:00:36]

A jolly little house [00:00:38]

With a Queen Anne front[00:00:39]

And a Mary Anne behind [00:00:41]

Now Great Grandfather was a handy man[00:00:45]

Who never wasted any time[00:00:48]

He found a crew that knew just what to do[00:00:51]

With white pine common brick and lime [00:00:55]

He said "I'll build a big veranda [00:00:58]

Where Amanda can perch [00:01:00]

"And I'll sit there myself on Sunday mornings[00:01:04]

"When everybody else has gone to church "[00:01:07]

The neighbors said "He's crazy in the head[00:01:10]

"He's surely lost his mind "[00:01:14]

But he built that house [00:01:16]

That jolly little house [00:01:18]

With a Queen Anne front[00:01:19]

And a Mary Anne behind [00:01:21]

Now Great Grandpa at last was laid to rest[00:01:27]

With Great Grandmother at his side [00:01:31]

Old Aunt Amanda said "My land an[00:01:34]

"Empty house I can't abide [00:01:38]

"I'll start a ladies' seminary [00:01:40]

It will be very select [00:01:43]

"Of course it will be very necessary[00:01:47]

"That all my girls be circumspect "[00:01:50]

As you may guess it was a big success[00:01:53]

Those girls were so refined[00:01:56]

In that self-same house [00:01:59]

That jolly little house [00:02:00]

With a Queen Anne front[00:02:02]

And a Mary Anne behind [00:02:04]

Now Aunt Amanda's work at last was done[00:02:08]

And she passed on to her reward [00:02:11]

Appeared a sign that bore the line[00:02:14]

Announcing simply "Room and Board "[00:02:18]

The house was soon filled with roomers [00:02:21]

Of every degree[00:02:24]

Red flannel underwear and bloomers[00:02:27]

Hung out for everyone to see [00:02:30]

The old porch stoop had started in to droop[00:02:33]

The house looked so resigned[00:02:36]

That self-same house [00:02:39]

That jolly little house [00:02:41]

With a Queen Anne front[00:02:42]

And a Mary Anne behind [00:02:44]

Now that old house was looking worse and worse[00:02:48]

And so was River Avenue [00:02:51]

Wooden shacks across the tracks[00:02:54]

Spoiled Great Grandma's lovely view [00:02:58]

A group of very pretty ladies moved in there one day [00:03:01]

The were such charmy Sues and Sadies[00:03:07]

But a wagon came and took them all away [00:03:10]

Said one old dame "Now isn't it a shame[00:03:14]

"My girls were so refined "[00:03:16]

But they closed that house [00:03:19]

That jolly little house [00:03:21]

With a Queen Anne front[00:03:22]

And a Mary Anne behind[00:03:24]
