| Two miners working out in Bisbee , Arizona Felt lonely for their Nova Scotia home A whole week's salary they would take To buy a pie, like dear old mother used to make. |
| I can taste it now, Mother's pie so tart It gets me right here, like a pain in the heart They baked the pie and cooled it a little And sat down at the table for the tasty vittle |
| They sliced the juicy pie down the middle "This is your half and my half, and started to nibble "Bill, I know what that pain was" Converse lamented It was heartburn !" and that was before Tums was invented |
| Bill Fraser said to Converse Brown "To start Our mothers' pies were never quite this tart. It would take all the sugar in the Town of Bisbee To sweeten that pie, and then some, you see! |
| "I remember now, I didn't stay When Mom baked her pies, I went out to play The house, it used to get so hot How lemons gel, I found out not! |
| They knew of noone in that old mining town Whose pies were like Mrs. Fraser's or Margery Brown's We'll have to bake our own!" they bravely said "But we may poison ourselves, and wind up dead!" |
| I |
| "I watched my mother many times as a lad If I can remember it won't be so bad Let's slice the lemons in little rounds And fill that pie till it abounds!" |
| " !" |
| Add some sugar to make it sweet But what makes it gel, that's got me beat! Maybe, the heat does that, like magic you know. Let's give it a try, I'm raring to go!" |
