Meller Days

Can’t help feelin’ kind o’ pert

     Meller days like these;

If a feller’s grouchy now

     He is hard to please.

Sun is drawin’ good an’ hard,

     Feelin’ it in my knees;

All the good that’s in you spreads

     Meller days like these.

Jest admire the hull dern world,

     Kindness ev’rywhere;

Like to shin up to the sky

     ‘N’ see how’tis up there.

Ol’ ct stratched out on the steps,

     Bluebirds in the trees;

Ain’t it good to be alive

     Meller days like these!
