DAYS git wa'm an' wa'mah, School gits mighty dull, Seems lak dese hyeah teachahs Mus' feel mussiful. Hookey's wrong, I know it Ain't no gent'man's trick; But de aihs a-callin', "Come on to de crick." Dah de watah's gu'glin' Ovah shiny stones, Des hit's ve'y singin' Seems to soothe yo' bones W'at's de use o' waitin', Go on good an' quick; Dain't no fun lak dis hyeah Wadin' in de crick. 131
