Good morning to my dolly first,
Good morning to my cherry tree;
Good morning to my little chicks,
For them I love to see.

Good morning to my bow-wow-wow;
Good morning to my bonnet new;
Good morning to my little self,
To Dad and Mammie too.

Good morning, God which art in Heaven,
I hope you slept last night quite well;
And please don't vex your head so much
About the devil in hell.

And if he bothers you too much,
And you're afraid, and you sleep bad,
Then, God which art in Heaven, you must
Have whisky, like my Dad.
