To talk jes like we’re thinkin’,
Without no hidin’ back o’ fans
And giggle-un and winkin’,
Ner sizin’ how each other’s dressed—
Like some is allus doin’,—
“Is Marthy Ellen’s basque be’n turned
Er shore-enough a new-un!”—
Er “ef Steve’s city-friend hain’t jes
‘A leetle kindo’-sorto’”—
Er “wears them-air blame’ eye-glasses
