The Woman That Will Sing

I HAVE in mind a woman Who never sings a song; Her house is neat and tidy, But she worries all day long.
She worries if the sun shines; She worries if it rain; She worries if she feels well, And worries if in pain.
She worries ’bout her husband; She worries ’bout her child; She worries ’bout the chickens, And drives all round her wild.
I know another woman, Who, when at work will sing; Her home is just as tidy, And she’s happy as a king.
She’s happy if the sun shines; She’s happy if it rain; She’s happy if she feels well, And happy if in pain.
She’s happy with her husband; She’s happy with her child; She’s happy with her chickens, And her temper’s seldom riled.
What is it makes this difference? Hath worry such a sting? If so — O, give us music, And the woman that will sing!
— Life.
