Artificial Flowers |
Alone in the world was poor little Anne |
As sweet a young child as you’d find. |
Her parents had gone to their final reward |
Leavin' their baby behind. |
(Did you hear?) |
This poor little child was only nine years of age |
when mother and dad went away; |
Still she brav-el-y worked |
At the one thing she knew |
to earn her few pennies a day. |
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers, |
Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear; |
She made artificial flowers, you know those artificial flowers, |
Fashioned from Annie’s despair. |
With paper and shears, with some wire and wax |
She made up each tulip and 'mum. |
As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room |
Her baby little fingers grew numb. |
From makin' artificial flowers, those artificial flowers |
Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear. |
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers |
Made from Annie’s despair. |
They found little Annie all covered with ice |
Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears |
Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand |
And watered with all her young tears. |
There must be a heaven where little Annie can play |
In heavenly gardens and bowers. |
And instea-a-ad of a halo she’ll wear 'round her head |
A garland of genuine flowers. |
No more artificial flowers; |
Throw away those artificial flowers, |
Flowers for ladies of society to wear. |
Throw away those artificial flowers, |
Those dum-dum flowers, |
Fashioned from Annie’s, |
Fashioned from A-a-a-annie's |
Des-pa-a-a-air. |
(Give her the real thing!) |
