Lyrics of Love and Laughter
An' de Chespeake's a-sayin' "Dat's de t'ing,"
W'ile my little cabin beckons, dough his mouf is closed an' dumb,
I's a-comin', an' my hea't begins to sing.

RELUCTANCE.

WILL I have some mo' dat pie?
No, ma'am, thank-ee, dat is - I -
Bettah quit daihin' me.
Dat ah pie look sutny good:
How'd you feel now ef I would?
I don' reckon dat I should;
Bettah quit daihin' me.

Look hyeah, I gwine tell de truf,
Mine is sholy one sweet toof:
Bettah quit daihin' me..
