W'EN de clouds is hangin' heavy in de sky, br An' de win's 's a-taihin' moughty vig'rous by, br I don' go a-sighin' all erlong de way; br I des' wo'k a-waitin' fu' de close o' day. br Case I knows w'en evenin' draps huh shadders down, br I won' care a smidgeon fu' de weathah's frown; br Let de rain go splashin', let de thundah raih, br Dey's a happy sheltah, an' I's goin' daih. br Down in my ol' cabin wa'm ez mammy's toas', br 'Taters in de fiah layin' daih to roas'; br No one daih to cross me, got no talkin' pal br But I's got de comp'ny o' my sweet brown gal. br So I spen's my evenin' listenin' to huh sing, br Lak a blessid angel; how huh voice do ring! br Sweetah den a bluebird flutterin' erroun', br W'en he sees de steamin' o' de new ploughed groun'. br Den I hugs huh closah, closah to my breas'. br Need n't sing, my da'lin', tek you' hones' res'.
