Salle's Pet
Sallee had a pet on the farm,
It was a snow-white ewe;
That’s what they call girl sheep, you know;
But, of course, you already knew.
Sallee gave her pet a name;
Olive seemed to fit her just right.
Sally and that pet of hers
Really were so tight.
Olive followed Sallee
As she did her chores throughout the day;
Then would wander off to grazing
In the fields not far away.
When night would fall on Farmville
All the boys would listen real close
To hear the voice of this pretty girl
Shouting the words they liked the most.
“Olive Ewe – come home to me.”
“Where are you – Olive Ewe?”
“Olive Ewe – I’m waiting here.”
“Come to bed with me – Olive Ewe.”
