Girls In The Wheatfield

                                             (News item in “Sun” of July 31, ‘06)

Girls out in the wheat field,

     Out in Walla Walla;

Wheat will all be gathered,

     We will bet a dollar.

One upon the “header”,

     One upon the “derrick”;

What an inspiration,

     For a Burus or Herrick!

Girls out in the wheat field,

     Wish me were a farmer;

Rake, straw hat an’ overalls,

     Working with a charmer.

They have solved the problem,

     Out in Walla Walla;

Men will now be plenty,

     We will bet a dollar.
