Lyrics of Love and Laughter

I's a-buil'in o' my cabin, an' I's vines erbove de do'

Fu' to kin' o' gin it sheltah f'om de sun;
Gwine to have a little kitchen wid a reg'lar wooden flo',
An' dey'll be a back verandy w'en hit's done.
I's a-waitin' fu' you, Lucy, tek de 'zample o' de birds,
Dat's a-lovin' an' a-matin' evahwhaih.

I cain' tell you dat I loves you in de robin's music wo'ds,
But my cabin's talkin' fu' me ovah thaih!

JOGGIN' ERLONG.

DE da'kest hour, dey allus say,
Is des' befo' de dawn,
But it's moughty ha'd a-waitin'
W'ere de night goes frownin' on;
An' it's moughty ha'd a-hopin'
