Morning-Glories

De Mo'nin'-Glo'y ladies,
dey's de 'ticulares' ob de lot,
Dey nebber shows dey faces
when de sun grows hot;
Dey got sech nice complexions
a-washin' wid de dew,—
Mis' Pink en Mis" Wite,
Mis' Pupple en Mis' Blue.
Dey's pow'ful skeered o' gettin'
all freckled wid de sun,
En dey don't hol' up dey haids
'tel anudder day's begun;
But dey allers mines dey manners,
a-cutsyin' ter you,—
Mis' Pink en Mis' W'ite,
Mis' Pupple en Mis' Blue.
