Sweet Violets

Today, around noonish, I took my trusty doggie on one of our usual walks around the neighborhood. She is one to look around as we walk and while approaching Azalea Place, she walked in a ditch at the side of the road and as I watched I saw a beautiful little flower! Which brought on an old tune which I hadn't even thought about--much less sung--in a long, long time--but today? That's just what I did! See if you remember the tune: The words of the song are below! Love it! . . There once was a farmer who took a young miss, In back of his barn where he gave her a lecture On chickens and horses and eggs, And told her that she had such beautiful manners That suited a girl of her charms, A girl he could take in his washing and ironing And then if she did, they could get married and raise lots of: . . Sweet vi-o-lets! Sweeter than all the roses! Covered all over from head to toe, Covered all over with Sweet vi-o-lets...! . . Think I'll have to tune up the old guitar and see about making another entry in my singing section (https://www.youtube.com/@StephenVGeddes). Such a neat old tune!
