Visiting Granma

Grandma, you look fresh like the morning dew, O! it is the herb Of paw paw leaves And dried snake skin, I drank, Grandma, flies are too many here, When flies perch on you Don’t drive, else You will invite trouble on you. Grandma, its hot here, Remove no hair From your brow, else you will get lost, Grandma, I am tired It is not good to yawn In the noon, else You will be in debt, Grandma, I’ll rest a bit, Rest not your head Against the wall, Else the spirits Will be angry, Grandma, I am thirsty, Drink water away from the pot Else your head gets hot, Grandma, I will sing a song Do not whistle to the baby Else she becomes dump. Grandma, the Chameleon Leave the chameleon On the rafter For they rebel sickness, Grandma, the dog is howling Let the dog cry For it shoo off evil spirits, Grandma, I think I will be going Back to city today.
