Take them singin' folks to task.

Fust, the music they 've be'n singin'

Will disgrace us mighty soon;

It 's a cross between a opry

An' a ol' cotillion tune.

With its dashes an' its quavers

An' its hifalutin style—

Why, it sets my head to swimmin'

When I 'm comin' down the aisle.

Now it might be almost decent
