A little old woman in a puffy dress
She lives on in portraits and paragraphs
But you should know Martha,
She was more than just the first First Lady that there ever was
She had all of her babies before she met George
She left a good impression on everyone she met
She was always by the side of Mister Washington
But she burned every letter that he ever sent
She left nothing behind for the historians
Photographic images did not exist yet
Do me a favor, when you picture her,
Don’t think of the elderly
Imagine a young girl, light on her feet,
In a different century
Do me a favor when you think of her
Don’t think of her at 63
She was a young girl, pretty and sweet
Before she turned to history
