There once was a girl named Lilli Mae

She dressed real nice and played all day

Her long red  hair was kept swept back in a single braid

 

One day a nice young man came by Lilli Mae 

"Whom might you be?" she asked real nicely

"I am the man who kisses." he replied in a voice like honey 

 

 There one was a girl named Lilli Mae

She dressed real nice and played all day

Her long red hair was kept swept back in a single braid

 

Lilli Mae went on playing as the man walked away

She bounced her nice pink ball againist the wall

As she bounced the ball there was a bounce that was not quite the same

The nice pink ball flew over Lilli Mae's bright red head and into the street

 

There once was a girl named Lilli Mae

She dressed real nice and played all day

Her red hair was kept swept back in a single braid

 

Without looking Lilli Mae went into the street to collect her toy

Then there came a bright blue truck up the road and then 

She fell

She looked up from the ground and saw two men standing above her

One was the man she saw earlier that day

 

Once there was a girl named Lilli Mae

She dressed real nice and played all day

Her red hair was kept swept back in a single braid

 

The man held out his hand to Lilli Mae

she slowly grasped it

when she did a shiver went down her spine

They got up and walked away

as they walked away Lilli Mae turned around and saw a little girl laying on the ground that looked qutie similar to her

"Oh dear! Should we go help her?" she asked

"No my darling" he replied softly "She has already been helped." He said he wiped her blood caked hair away from her soft rosy cheeks.

she smiled at him as blood flooded from the blotches on her pretty little innocent face.
