| SWEET VIOLETS |
| There once was a farmer who took a young miss in back of the barn where he gave her a Lecture ‘bout horses and chickens and eggs. And told her that she had such beautiful Manners that suited a girl of her charms. The girl that he wanted to take in his Washing and ironing and then if she did, they would get married and raise lots of CHORUS Sweet violets! Sweeter than the roses! Covered all over from head to toe, covered all over with sweet violets. The girl told the farmer that he’d better stop. She called her father and he called a Taxi which got there before very long, for someone was doing his little girl Right for a change and so that’s why he said, “If you marry her son you’re better off single, for it’s always been my belief marriage will bring a man nothing but CHORUS The farmer decided to wed anyway And started in planning for his wedding Suit which he purchased for only one buck Then he found out he was just out of Money and so he was left in the lurch Standing and waiting in front of the End of this story which just goes to show All a girl wants from a man is his CHORUS |
