Queen Anne Front - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)[00:00:00]

When great grandfather was a gay young man[00:00:43]

And great grandmother was his bride[00:00:46]

They found a lot a very pretty spot[00:00:49]

Over on the old north side[00:00:52]

It sloped down toward the river[00:00:54]

From river avenue[00:00:57]

Great grandma said that it would give her[00:01:00]

Such a lovely view[00:01:03]

So they took a look in godey's ladies book[00:01:06]

To see what they could find[00:01:09]

And they found a house a jolly little house[00:01:11]

With a queen anne front and a Mary anne behind[00:01:14]

Now great grandfather was a handy man[00:01:20]

Who never wasted any time[00:01:24]

He found a crew that knew just what to do[00:01:26]

With common brick like time and lime[00:01:29]

He said I'll build a big veranda[00:01:34]

Where amanda can perch[00:01:37]

And where I will sit on sunday mornings[00:01:40]

When everybody else has gone to church[00:01:42]

The neighbors said and the shifter head[00:01:45]

He's surely lost his mind[00:01:47]

But he built that house that jolly little house[00:01:50]

With a queen anne front and a Mary anne behind[00:01:53]

Now great grandpa at last to rest[00:01:58]

With great grandmother at his side[00:02:01]

Aunt amanda said my land[00:02:05]

They can house I can't abide[00:02:07]

I'll start a ladies seminary[00:02:09]

It will be very select[00:02:11]

And of course it will be very necessary[00:02:14]

That all my girls be circumspect[00:02:17]

As you may guess it was a big success[00:02:20]

Those girls were so refined[00:02:22]

In that self same house that jolly little house[00:02:25]

With a queen anne front and a Mary anne behind[00:02:28]

Now aunt amanda's work was done at last[00:02:34]

And she had gone to her reward[00:02:37]

Appeared a sign that bore the line[00:02:40]

Announcing simply room and board[00:02:43]

The old house soon was filled with roomers[00:02:46]

Of every degree[00:02:49]

Red flannel underwear and bloomers[00:02:51]

Hung out for everyone to see[00:02:54]

The old porch stoop had started in to droop[00:02:57]

And the house looked so resigned[00:02:59]

That self same house that jolly little house[00:03:03]

With a queen anne front and a Mary anne behind[00:03:05]

The poor old house was looking worse and worse[00:03:27]

So did river avenue[00:03:30]

Wooden shacks across the tracks[00:03:33]

Spoiled great grandma's lovely view[00:03:36]

When several very pretty ladies[00:03:39]

Moved in there one day[00:03:42]

They were such charming sues and sadie's[00:03:45]

But a wagon came and took them all away[00:03:47]

One old dame said isn't it a shame[00:03:50]

My girls were so refined[00:03:53]

But they closed that house that jolly little house[00:03:56]

With a queen anne front and a Mary anne behind[00:03:58]
