LITTLE MISS FIDDLE

Dar now, Banjo!—t’ek yo’ sign in,—

Let Miss Fiddle sing her song.

O my h’art—I’m jes’ a pinin’—

Come, Miss Fiddle, come along—

Wid yo’ gleam of sun in show’rs,

Nights so sweet an’ days so ca’mful—

Wid yo’ birds an’ bees an’ flowers,

Fetchin’ music by de armful!

John Trotwood Moore.
