Grow up, little girl

Come, take my hand

Hold your head up high now

Show them you can fight

 

Dry up your tears, little one

Time to bid Teddy a kiss goodbye

Never cry on wounds on knees again

For you’re subject to greater pain

 

Near here, baby sweetheart

Let’s wash your dirty feet

You are to be a maiden

Now make them believe

 

Come here, wee darling

Don’t purse your lips tight

Stay strong, be brave

For in the future, you’ll be I
