While all the time, the old farmer was pulling his- Horse from the stable to go on a hunt, The Missus stayed at home and powdered her Now the farmers teen daughter, hung around by his side You could tell by her manner, she was after a Walk through the valley, to see old farmer Preggs And show his fine young son, what's be-tween her- -Self and his father, then with a small bit of luck They'll away to the haybarn and have a good- Laugh at the story's, and jokes that he knows Till she'll fall off the haystack and tear all her SWEET VIOLETS................................... Now the farm hands a strong lad, just turned 26 He gets pleasure each day by sucking on- Straws and on matches, thats how his time is spent sure all the village boys swear he is- A very wealthy young man, because of his job and all the girls love him for the size of his SALARY - ALL TOGETHER Sweet violets.......................................
