H. S. Thompson, Cousin Jedediah (1863)
“ And we all must get ready for cousin Jedediah. CHORUS Cousin Jedediah, There's Hezekiah, And Asariah, And Aunt Sopia, And Jedediah, All coming here to tea, Oh! wont we have a jolly time, Oh! wont we have a jolly time, Jerusha put the kettle on, We'll all take tea. 2. Now Obed wash you face boy, and tallow up your shoes, While I got to see Aunt Betty, and tell her all the news, And Kitty slick you hair, and put on you sunday gown, For cousin Jedediah comes right from Boston town. ”
