TO DR. M.D. FITCH, Columbus, Ohio.
Oh Dahky stop yo’ moanin’!
Oh Dahky stop yo’ sigh!
De sun am ‘way up yondah
Er Blazin’ in de sky.
De vines am full o’ raillens
De apples tarnin’ yaller!
De sugar’ corn’s in tassel
Down yondah in de holler.
Down yondah in de holler
Down yondah in de holler,
De sugar corn’s in tassel
Down yondah in de holler!
Oh Dahky stop yo’ fussin’!
Oh Dahky stop yo’ pout!
De yam! yam! sweetah tayters
De groun’ am buss’in’ out!
Dis hain’t no time fo’ weepin’
Hit’s time fo’ juberlee!
So wipe o’ way de drippins,
Fill up yo’ soul wif glee!
Fill up yo’ soul wiff glee!
Fill up yo’ soul wiff glee!
An’ wipe o’ way de drippins
Fill up yo’ soul wiff glee!
De Jaybird’s chattin’ gaily,
De Peacock struttin big!
De fox am lookin’ cunin’
Er Blinkin’ at de pig;
De bull frog am er eroakin’
Er coolin’ in de bogg
De summer dreams am soothin’
De lazy lonesome dog.
De lazy lonesome dog,
De lazy lonesome dog,
De summer dreams am soothin’
De lazy lonesome dog.
