DAIH'S a mought soothing' feelin'
Hits a dahky man,
'Long to'ds night.
W'en de row is most' nigh ended,
Den he stops to fan,
'Long to'ds night.
De blue smoke f'om his cabin is a-callin'
to him, "Come;"
He smell de bacon cookin', an' he hyeah 
de fiah hum;
An' he 'mence to sing, 'dough wo'kin'
putty nigh done made him dumb,
'Long to'ds night.
