That the harvest times a-comin' an the fightll

That the Lord has sent the sunshine. sent the

ripe to pull,
An the world is very fair an bright an beau

are thrifty, too;
Those sheep out there. they feel so good they
dunno what to do.
Just been offered thirty dollars for that brindle

Those bales out there are rngged-lookin', sorter

surely they can be brave when nothing but
work confronts them.
