Plucked From the Plains

PluCked From the Plains
When the Frost Is On the Punkin
When the frost is on the punkin and
the folders in the shock,
And you hear the kyouck and gobble
of the struttin turkeycock.
And the clackin' of the guineys and
the cluckin of the hens,
And the ROSTERS hallylooyer as he
tiptoes on the fence;
Oh. it's thens the times feller is
a-feelin' at his best,
With the risin' sun to greet him
/ from a night of peaceful rest,
AS he leaves the house, bare-headed,
! and goes out to feed the stock,
When the frost is on the punkin and
the folders in the shock.
Then your apples all is gethered, and
the ones feller keeps
Is poured around the celler floor in
red and yeller heaps;
And your cider-makin's over and
| your win1men-folks is through
/ With their mince and apple-butter
and their souse and sausage, too!
/ don't know how to tell it-but ef
SIGH thing could be
AS the Angels wantin' boardin', and
! they'd call around on me
I'd want to commodate email the
/ whole indurin' flock
When the frost is on the punkin and
! the folders in the shock!
