Watch 'em steps, dey is a littl' rickity. An' fer goodness sakes watch were ya step,
dem dadgum dawgs stay close 'round da porch.

Da well is over here 'side da shed, be mindful of da big ol rooster,
he can spur ya-----------QUICK!! GET OVER HERE ASIDE ME!
He don't bother me much, guess it's 'cause I kick him a lot.

Drap dat bucket in and draw us a couple o' tubs full o' water,
I'll get the fire started so it'll be warm, da kids hate a cold bath.

Evelyn makes me take a cold bath three or four times a week,
don't know why...........You got any idea?
After I set out by the shed and take a nip or two, you know,
fer medicinal purposes only (smile), then go inside, she jumps up
and starts yellin' at me to go take a cold bath.
One time she told me to go fly a kite,

I don't think dat gals quite rite.

Why don't ya go on and heat da water,
I'm agonna visit the ol outhouse
fer a while, we got dem new fangled plumbing things inside,
but I jus can't think rite settin in da house.
Sides dat, Evelyn won't let me keep the catalogs inside.
She wants me to use sum kinda white, perfummy paper
dat comes on a roll........I don't think dat gals quite rite.
Ya know, any body what would sell that stuff auto git a reel job.

Go on back in when ya finish heatin' da water,
I be there in a mite.
I gotta stop by the shed fer a littl' nip, you know,
fer medicinal purposes only (smile)
