IN GOOD OLD SUSSEX

In good ole Sussex county
Down in little Delaware,
| often say to SaTy Ann,
I'm glad we're living there.
The cOuntry's kind o. humble,
Stretchin' onward to the sea;
1t amt a stylish loOkin' place
And don't pretend to be.
There amt a mountain anywhere
A-hOldin' up its head;
There amt no rocks, but only sand
A-shinin' there instead;
But there's allus welcome for you,
! You can feel it in the air
/ In good old Sussex county,
Down IN little Delaware.
The sweetest kind of of music
Is the rustic of the corn,
And the whippOOrwills a-callin'
In the early of the. morn,
When the bees are in the clover
Hummin' such lovely tune
That it sets a feller sighin'
For an everlastin' June.
like to watch the glOwin' sun
And then the summer rain
That touches up the dusty grass
And makes it smile again; =.
With happiness for everyone
And just a bit to spare, e.
In good old Sussex county,
Down i'm little Delaware.
like to be in Sussex
In the watermelon time
For that's the place to get 'em
If you want 'em in their prime.
Some say the finest melon
Is the good old 'MOuntain Sweet,
And others say "Tom Watson"
Is rather hard to beat;
But the finest watermelon
Ripens early in the morn,
All nice and old and wet with dew
You eat it in the corn, =
You take it from a neighbOr
Who has plenty and to spare,
In good old Sussex county,
Down in little Delaware. :
1 reckon there amt nOthin'
That a feller could compare
] " lilG lCu anu juicy POhSAiSo
That you find agrowin' there;
Just help yourself, its all the same
If you should take a few;
The fruit of earth belongs to man,
And that is why they grew,
They say in good old Sussex
That, since the air is free,
And not a cent to pay for it,
Why, peaches ought to be.
So help yourself, l reckon
There's a-plenty and to spare
In good old Sussex county,
Down in little Delaware.
We're modest here in Sussex
And we've got simple creed,
Good honest folks for neighbors
With helpin' hand in need;
\ friend to cheer and comfort
You when troubles intervene b.
Iot sayin' much, but standin' by
