Injun Summah

- Benjamin Franklin King
De Injun summah's comin', De bees is all froo hummin', De watah-mellon thumbin' Has passed long time ago. De ole clock in de kitchen Is tickin' mos' bewitchin', While Gabe is out unhitchin' Just kase it looks like snow.

De lambs is runnin' over De aftahmath ob clovah, An' yondah comes de drovah; I 'spec he' got a yahn About de ole bell-weddah Dat's wand'rin roun' de meddah An' wants ter git togeddah Wid de sheep up roun' de bahn.

Some days de sun is shinin', Some days de win' is whinin', An' den I'se after fin'in' Big pippins on de groun'; De birds hab all stopped singin', Wil' geese is soufward wingin', Jes' look an' see 'em stringin' Whar warmah weddah's foun'.

De yaller cat is nappin' En layin' roun' an' gappin'; Bimeby he will be slappin' Some tom-cat on de wall. Dar's a mellah, yellah glory Kase de yeah is ol' an' ho'ry, An' a melancholy story So't o' hangin' roun' us all.
