Why Am I A Maid?
Abstract
Oh, poor me!
Sorrow has become my daily companion
I wail . . . wail and wail
Like a mournful widow
I weep in self-pity like a caged sparrow
Unlike my master’s ducklings that freely swim
Sorrow has become my daily companion
I wail . . . wail and wail
Like a mournful widow
I weep in self-pity like a caged sparrow
Unlike my master’s ducklings that freely swim
