In the S%pringtime.

When from the south the breezes come
To put old Winter out of plumb,
When gentle Spring is close at hand
And pleasant sunshine fills the land,
Then lovely woman goes about,
With energy to beat the band,
To put the dirt to rout
Her hair is in an apron tied,
Her dress pinned up on either side;
She dons a faded underskirt
And valiautly pursues the dirt
with dust-rag, broom and mop;
She hasn't even time &c firt;
For gossip she won't stop,
The humble man about the place
Has pressing business or a case
That calls him very far away;
He won't get back till late mex day.
He knows that if he'll only wait
There's trash to burn and rugs to Law,
And so he pulls his freight.
Oh, when the Spring it's lease has signed,
A microbe rules all womankind,
And she must clean her house or die;
No use to ask the reason why
Or of the mater further talk,
So when mar sees it in her eye
He takes a walk.
