Lyrics of Love and Laughter

Yo' bright tops don' look so red,
Sese brass tips is dull an' dead;
"Goo'by," whut de baby said;
Deah little boots!

Ain't you kin' o' sad yo'se'f,
You little boots?
Dis is all his mammy's lef',
Two little boots.
Sence huh baby gone an' died,
Heav'n itse'f hit seem to hide
Des a little bit inside
Two little boots.

TO THE ROAD.

Cool is the wind, for the summer is waning, 
Who's for the road?
Sun-flecked and soft, where the dead leaves are raining,
Who's for the road?
