- Dimbled scheeks, mit eyes off plue,
- Mout' like id vas moisd mit dew,
- Und leedle teeth shust peekin' droo-
- Dot's der baby.
- Curly head, und full off glee,
- Browsers all oudt at der knee—
- He vas peen blaying horse, you see—
- Dot's leedle Yawcob.

- Von hundord-seexty in der shade,
- Der oder day vhen she vas veighed-
- She beats me soon, I vas avraid—
- Dot's mine Katrina.
- Barefooted head, und pooty stoudt,
- Mit grooked legs dot vill bend oudt,
- Fond off his bier und sauer-kraut—
- Dot's me himself.

- Von schmall young baby, full off fun,
- Von leedle prite-eyed, roguish son,
- Von frau to greet vhen vork vas done—
- Dot's mine vamily.
