Oft' on a sultry evening
sits I on my front porch swing
with good dear friends and family
And then we start to sing
Oh dear we have forgot the verse
or seem to disagree
about just how the phrasing goes
to fit the melody.

Quick! log onto Mudcat, they all shout with one accord
For it is only the DT can stop all our discord.
Oh look, it seems we all are right
for I found 20 versions
found on 40 different threads here on the Mudcat forum.
