Lyrics of Love and Laughter

You don' s'pose I's gwine to see
Dem ah fowls do mo' dan me?
No, suh, I'll des chase dis frown,
An' aldough de rain fall down,
Keep a song up on de way.

THE TURNING OF THE BABIES IN THE BED.

WOMAN'S sho' a cur'ous critter, an' dey ain't no doubtin' dat.
She's a mess o' funny capahs f'om huh slippahs to huh hat.
Ef you tries to un'erstan' huh, an' you fails, des' up an' say:
"D' ain't a bit o' use to try to un'erstan' a woman's way."

I don' mean to be complainin', but I's jes' a-settin' down
Some o' my own obserwations, w'en I cas' my eye eroun'.
