De bumble bee in tollin’
Like he’s supposed to do:
De garter snakes’ uncoilla
Foh to chase a bug or two:
Do clouds is hurryin’ on deir track
Dey’s not de sky to oro An’ I’s
Jes Iayin’ on my back Out yere an playin’ bess
De robin sings to cheer me
De cricket fiddles soine:
De bullfrog nex’ draws near me, A hammerin’ ou de drum When daylight’s gone I’ll use de moon, An’ never feel de loss De world keeps goin’ night and noon An’ i’s a-pingin’ boss
