Lyrics of Love and Laughter

Den he do a heap o' talkin',
Do' he mosl'y kin' o' still,
But de wo'ds, dey gits to runnin'
Lak de watah fu' a mill.
"Whut's de use o' havin' trouble,
Whut's de use o' havin' strife?"
Dat's de way dis Sam'l preaches
W'en he been to see his wife.

An' I reckon I git jealous,
Fu' I laff an' joke an' sco'n,
An' I say, "Oh, go on, Sam'l,
Des go on, an' blow yo' ho'n."
But I know dis comin' Sad'day,
Dey'll be brighter days in life;
An' I'll be ez glad ez Sam'l
W'en I go to see my wife.
