Lars Sunday night me[6] an’ Fred went ter de swamp
An’ it wan’ many minits fo’ we heahd ole Romp
Talkin’ ter hissef, an’ tree’in’ up’n uh pine
Dat wuz all obergrow’d wid uh big grapevine.
Speak ter him Romp! Mus’ be uh ’possum, Fred,
De way dat dog is cacklin’ an’ losin’ ub he hed.
An’ feedin’ on dese fros-bit grapes an’ fat
Ef he won’ meck yo’ lip go flip-flop, teck dis hat.
