Ner so fine, I’m here to state!—

Sol wuz pore, of course, and she

Wuzn’t ust to poverty—

Ner she didn’t ’pear to jes

’Filiate with lonesomeness,—

’Cause Sol he wuz off and out

With his th’asher nigh about

Half the time; er, season done,

He’d be off mi-anderun

Round the country, here and there,
