I remember, afterwhile,

Her a-sayin' with a smile:

"Oh, you quit,—you sassy dunce,

You jest caught me whistlin' once."

Ev'ry sence that when I hear

Some one whistlin' kinder clear,

I most break my neck to see

Ef it 's Susy; but, dear me,

I jest find I 've b'en to chase

Some blamed boy about the place.
