Little Girl with a Curl

When I was in the US people kept quoting the first verse of this poem to me and I had never heard it before. I looked online and found three verses by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The first verse is commonly incorrect as it is here. It should read:

There was a little girl,

Who had a little curl,

Right in the middle of her forehead.

When she was good,She was very good indeed,

But when she was bad she was horrid.

I kept this one below intact because I found it this way. Sadly, she is losing her little curl/swirl in the middle of her forehead. I guess she doesn't want to grow up with a curl right there.

There was a little girl

And she had a little curl,

Right in the middle of her forehead,

When she was good,

She was very, very good,

And when she was bad she was horrid.

She went up-stairs,

And he parents unawares,

Was a-looking out of the window;

She stood on her head,

In her little trundle-bed,

And nobody near to hinder.

Her mother heard the noise,

And she thought it was the boys,

A playing in the empty attic;

But she ran up-stairs,

And caught her unawares,

And spanked her most emphatic

I also found this version for the second and third verse:

She screamed and she squalled

and she yelled and she bawled

And she drummed her little heels against the window.

Her Mother heard the noise

and thought it was the boys,

Playing in the empty attic....

So she went upstairs

and caught her unaware,

and spanked her most emphatic!
