Why the Old Woman Limps R
Do you know why the old woman sings?
She is sixty years old with six grandchildren to look after
While her sons and wives are gone south to dig gold.
Each day she milks the goat, sells the milk to buy soap,
Feeds and washes the children, and tethers the goat.
In the evening she tells them all stories of old at the
fireside:
I know why the old woman sings.
to weed (11)
seedling (12)
Do you know when the old woman sleeps?
10 She rests with the dark, at night she thinks of
Tomorrow: she's to feed the children and graze the goat.
She's to weed the garden, water the seedling beans,
The thatch has to be mended, the barnyard cleared.
Maize pounded, chaff winnowed, millet ground, fire lit ...
15 I do not know when the old woman sleeps.
Do you know why the old woman limps?
She goes to fetch water in the morning
and the well is five miles away,
Goes to fetch firewood with her axe
20 and the forest is five miles the other way,
Goes to the fields to look for pumpkin leaves
leaving the goat tethered to the well tree
And hurries home to the children to cook:
I know why the old woman limps.
