| I'm a-digging in the dirt,
| And doing this and that.

| And around, and then

| And smiling fit to kill.

| And joyful; for the wust
| OF pesky troubles all take wing
When buckeye blossoms bust.
And for the river pull;

When come back. wife she scoids
Like anything possessed,
But not OF trouble rolls
Across my peaceful breast
] kiss her the dimpled chin,
And tell her have fused
Our last. love through thick and thin
When buckeye blossoms bust.
