Out in dah night, 'POOF', into a slumber in er garden she whispered sometin' to me dah, I dream't a lovely gal, I'd met one summer, a sum time ago, under er ol'e peach tree er Hill-billy mom wer' watchin' from afar, spyin' on er rockin' chair, sure spotin' us suddenly, LETS ELOPE, use tha ol'e car wait, we'll take leave, this night by bus, Then I 'eard er say, no need fer any fussin', In 'er whisper, an right then, out of that blue, a top of her lungs er mom started a hollerin', stright at us both, she whaled, I see you two, I just known' it, when ya'll did sneak that kiss, let it be true- a young'n, I want er to be a boy 'WHAT'- on green acres is she hollerin' O' miss Fer I'd been with yer only I think once in De'troy "O' ne're before, have I loved so true" she whispered- do sleep, she went on to say... I want to spend my life wit' someone like you POOF, rubbin' my eyes, in da night, 'ere I lay Da! dreamin'- "It's a boy, I'd pray he be" Since, before I bed, I pray, should I miss her set'n in my garden, under my ol'e peach tree reck'n per'haps somday-I'd hear'er sweet whisper.
