On the banks o' Deer Crick! There's the place fer me! -- / Worter slidin' past ye jes as clair as it kin be: -- / See yer shadder in it, and the shadder o' the sky, / And the shadder o' the buzzard as he goes a-lazein' by; / Shadder o' the pizen-vines, and shadder o' the trees -- / And I purt'-nigh said the shadder o' the sunshine and the breeze!
Well -- I never seen the ocean ner I never seen the sea: / On the banks o' Deer Crick's grand enough fer me!
