BRIC-A-BRIC. SONG OF THE SPRING.
De spring-timo is on us an do March wind squallin', Do lorg-rollin' comin' an' de dead tree's fallin 1 ; De lan is dryin' an' de new groun's callin 1 , Callin' mighty strong I De red-head peckorwood's beatin' an' a-drummin', De butterflies swarmin' an' do bumble-beo bumm- ■ in' ; De apple-trees buddin' an' do peach-blossoms comin', Comin' light erlong 1 De breeze keep a-blowin' an' de pino-trcos rockin', De sap-sucker peckin' an'.de yaller-hammer knockin'; Do bull-f logs jumpin' an' de black-bmls's flockin', Flockin' up do tree ! Don't you hear de music dat tho spring-timo bringin'? De fiel's gittin' grocn an' de bushes keep a ringin', Do sparror-hawk is sailin* an' de morkin'-bird singin', Singin' mighty free 1 Oh ! wake up, wake up, 'arly in do mornin', De time is a-comin' for to git dat corn in ; Go, hitch dein mules while the daylight dawnin', Dawirin' in do sky ; Go, git dem colters when de teams done diinkin', Start dat plantin' while de jew-draps' blink'n ; An' wuk till de ebenin' sun go to smkin', Sinkin' bimeby 1 J. A. Macon.
