sung by sheet music singer, Fred Feild
piano according to the sheet music

1. Once there lived side by side, two little maids
Used to dress just alike, hair down in braids
Blue gingham pinafores, stockings of red
Little sun bonnets tied on each pretty head
When school was over secrets they'd tell
Whispering arm in arm, down by the well
One day a quarrel came, hot tears were shed
"You can't play in our yard," but the other said

Chorus:
I don't want to play in your yard
I don't like you any more
You'll be sorry when you see me
Sliding down our cellar door
You can't holler down our rain barrel
You can't climb our apple tree
I don't want to play in your yard
If you won't be good to me

2. Next day two little maids each other miss
Quarrels are soon made up, sealed with a kiss
Then hand in hand again, happy they go
Friends all through life to be, they love each other so
Soon school days pass away, sorrows and bliss
But love remembers yet, quarrels and kiss
In sweet dreams of childhood, we hear the cry
"You can't play in our yard," and the old reply
