O,
we thought the spring was comin’,
An’ we hollered loud an’ long,
Out
our pulses started hummin’,
An’ we snatched a little song.
O,
the skies were lookin’ meller,
An’ the sun was actin’ coy,
An’
it simply made a feller
Feel like bustin’ out in joy.
Thought
the groundhog was mistaken,
When his shadder didn’t show;
An’
our faith in him was shaken,
‘Cuz we thought he didn’t know.
An’
we got the mutton taller
For to grease our fishin’ gear;
Troubles
ev’ry day grew shaller
‘Cuz springtime was so near.
Then
the skies they got a shadder,
An’ the winds began to blow;
An’
the cold bit like an adder,
An’ there came a lot of snow.
Then
the merc’ry dipped asunder,
An’ we put the tackle by;
An’
we’re feelin’ worse’n thunder
‘Cuz ol’ spring is knocked sky-high.
