There once was a farmer
     who took a young miss,
     In back of the barn where
     he gave her a. .
     Lesson on horses and
     chickens and eggs,
     And told her that she
     had such beautiful. .
     Manners that suited a
     girl of her charms,
     A girl that he wanted to
     take in his. .
     Washing and ironing and
     then as she did,
     They could get married
     and raise up some. .
     Sweet violets,
     Sweeter than all the roses,
     Covered all over from head to toe,
     Sweet violets.
