One time, when we'z at Aunty's house -- / 'Way in the country! -- where / They's ist but woods -- an' pigs, an' cows -- / An' all's out-doors an' air! -- / An' orchurd-swing; an' churry-trees -- / An' _churries_ in 'em! -- Yes, an' these -- / Here red-head birds steals all they please, / An' tetch 'em ef you dare! -- / W'y, wunst, one time, when we wuz there, / _We et out on the porch! _
Wite where the cellar-door wuz shut / The table wuz; an' I / Let Aunty set by me an' cut / My vittuls up -- an' pie. / 'Tuz awful funny! -- I could see / The red-heads in the churry-tree; / An' bee-hives, where you got to be / So keerful, goin' by; -- / An' "Comp'ny" there an' all! -- an' we -- / _We et out on the porch! _
