As he walked with the maid through the clover
one day;
"And tell me you love me; there's nobody near;
No one to look at us. no one to hear
"Pray tell me what's growing, sir, just over
there,
In the field next the clover" said Phyllis, the fair.
Why corn and potatoes, " said Corydon gay;

And tell ne you love me; there's nobody near
No one to look at US, no one to hear
you're wrong" said sweet Phyllis, with conf

That corn las cot ears and potatoes have eyes
