Boy., when ah sits down to take a rest, Oh, tain,t very often dat ah does dat, No, sah, hoss, but when ah does Ah leans agin dat powhful pine, And dere ah listens to de whispahed song. Yas, sah, dat tree ah calls de whispahin' pine. But, hoss, when nuttin' tinze's done come Away down where ah comes from-, We found de hickories on de ground, But here, when ah goes a nuttin' Ah finds 'em hangin' in de spreadin' chest-nut tree. And when it's cold and de ground am white And ah sits a dozin' at my windah Drearnin' ah is way d own youndah, Where de sun am pourin' eross de lazy river- But, Lord, when ah wakes up and looks across de field, Ah sees de quakin, aspen a shiverin' in de hreeze. -Denton Snyder
