One Time 
You Made Me Cry 
Be Proud That I 
Remember 

My Chin Is Sore 
The Bruise Is Gone 
But the Spot Is Tender 

Gave My Hand a Sister Coy 
To Cotton Alley Where 
You Did Enjoy 
Your Wicked Games 
You Curious Boy 

Tied My Laces Up Together 
When I Fell 
You Laughed 
Until Your Belly Was Sore 

In the Brick Laid Aisle Behind 
The Five and Dime Store 

That's How 
I Made You Blush 
But Doubt If You 
Remember 

Were My Tears Genuine 
Or Those of a Skilled 
Pretender 

Nothing Precious 
Plain to See 
Don't Make a Fuss Over Me 
Not Loud 
Not Soft 
But Somewhere in Between 
Say Sorry 
Let It Be 
The Word You Mean 

I Was a Little Pest Who 
Never Took a Hint 
Could Never 
Take a Hint 

You Pinched My Fingers 
In a Door 
Tossed My Coloring Book in a 
Rusty Barrel 

Pulled Spiders From My Hair 
Fingers in the Door 

My Favorite Blue Blouse 
Stained On the Back 
Running From a Berry War 

Can You Hear Me Scream 
In Cotton Alley 
Scream in Cotton Alley 
In Cotton Alley
