Or so she has everyday said,

Nothing of it does she dread,

Near it though I never tread…

She said she would kill,

If ever thread she lost,

To her it is like gold in cost,

More expensive it is than any milliondollar bank bill…

So if the day should come that I do die,

Wrapped in thread I will be, I don’t lie,

If found please do not be shy,

Peal it all off and make sure I am dead,

Then I can forever and a day be happy,

In my grave I will therein, thread-less, lie…
