Lyrics of Love and Laughter

Ez I look at dat ol' skillet, an' I 'magine I
kin see.
Jes' a slew o' new-ketched catfish sizzlin' daih 
fu' huh an' me.


'T ain't no use to go a-ploughin', fu' de groun' 'll
be too wet,
So I puts out fu' de big house at a moughty pace, you bet,
An' ol' mastah say, "Well, Lishy, ef you t'ink hit's gwine to rain,
Go on fishin', hit's de weathah, an' I 'low we cain't complain."


Talk erbout a dahky walkin' wid his haid up in
de aih!
Have to feel mine evah minute to be sho' I got
it daih;
En' de win' is cuttin' capahs an' a-lashin' thoo
de trees,
But de rain keeps on a-singin' blessed songs,
lak "Tek yo' ease."
