There once was a farmer
Who took a young miss…
In back of the barn
Where he gave her…
A lecture on horses and chickens and eggs
And told her that she had such…
Beautiful manners that
Suited a girl of her charms
A girl that he wanted to…
Take in his washing and ironing
And then if she would
They could get married and
Raise lots of
Sweet violets
Sweeter than the roses
Covered all over from head to toe
Coverall all over with sweet violets
The girl told the farmer
That he’d better stop
And she called her father
And he told the farmer
He’d better stop
For someone was doing his lil girl
Right for a change
So that’s why he said
If you marry her son
You are better off single
It’s been my belief
That marriage will bring a man
Nothing but Sweet violets…
The farmer decided to wed anyway
And started in planning for his
Wedding suit which he purchased
For only one buck
And then he found out he was
Just out of money
And left in the lurch
Standing and waiting
In front of the end of this story
Is sad as you know
For all a girl wants from her man is
His sweet violets….
LMAO, this was a song as a preteen we sang camping! Do not know why I thought of it this morning but it made me smile. Have you ever had a funny one or one that comes to you out of the blue from your past?
