《Sweet Violets》歌词

[00:00:01] Sweet Violets

[00:00:07] Sweeter than the roses

[00:00:11] Covered all over from head to toe

[00:00:14] Covered all over with sweet violets

[00:00:23] There once was a farmer who took a young miss

[00:00:26] In back of the barn where he gave her a lecture

[00:00:30] On horses and chickens and eggs

[00:00:33] And told her that she had such beautiful

[00:00:36] Manners that suited a girl of her charms

[00:00:40] A girl that he wanted to take in his

[00:00:43] Washing and ironing and then if she did

[00:00:47] They could get married and raise lots of

[00:00:50] Sweet violets

[00:00:54] Sweeter than the roses

[00:00:58] Covered all over from head to toe

[00:01:02] Covered all over with sweet violets

[00:01:10] The girl told the farmer that he'd better stop

[00:01:13] And she call her father and he called a

[00:01:16] Taxi and got there before very long

[00:01:20] 'Cause some one was doin' his little girl

[00:01:23] Right for a change and so that's why he said

[00:01:27] If you marry her son you're better off single

[00:01:31] 'Cause it's always been my belief

[00:01:34] Marriage will bring a man nothing but

[00:01:37] Sweet Violets

[00:01:41] Sweeter than the roses

[00:01:45] Covered all over from head to toe

[00:01:49] Covered all over with sweet violets

[00:01:57] The farmer decided he wed anyway

[00:02:01] And started in planning for his wedding

[00:02:04] Suit which he purchased for only one buck

[00:02:07] But then he found out he was just out of

[00:02:10] Money and so he got left in the lurch

[00:02:14] A standin' and waitin' in front of the

[00:02:17] End of the story which just goes to show

[00:02:21] All a girl wants from a man is his

[00:02:24] Sweet Violets

[00:02:28] Sweeter than the roses

[00:02:32] Covered all over from head to toe

[00:02:36] Covered all over with sweet violets

[00:02:42] Sweet Violets
