A Little Sister Follows Me

A careful girl I want to be;

A little sister follows me.

I do not dare to go astray

For fear she’ll go the selfsame way.

I cannot once escape her eyes;

Whate’er she sees me do, she tries;

Like me she says she’s going to be—

That little sister following me.

She thinks that I am good and fine;

Believes in every word of mine.

The bad in me she must not see—

That little sister following me.

I must remember as I go,

Through summer’s sun and winter’s snow,

I’m building for the years to be

That little sister following me.
