But for there's something better
Than the pumpkin in the field
Or the apples in the orchard,
And the crops greatest yield
When the pumpkins in the fire
And the elders in the glass,
And you're sitting by the fireplace
With happy winsome lass.
O. city lads may have their lun
IN cabaret and shows
But for me- there's great enjoyment
Where the freight CLOVIS.
When the frost is the window panes,
And the wind sings in the trees
And log is burning brightly
just a-warming up your knees;
Perhaps there's something better
That some wise guy knows
But for it's mighty pleasing
Where the freight glows.
To hear the a-poppng
AS you heat ii in the pan,
With dish of rosy apples
just awaiting at your hand.
You can't beat it, Mr. Richman,
With your dongs all for show
And for me there's great contentment
Where the fre-lights glow.
When the leaves changing color,

Or the nuts, a-lang down.

To live the way they know.
But for it's Heaven
