Living
Loafing
From Oklahoma Sunshine (1905)
Living
Loafin' in the sunshine,
On a grassy bed,
Dreamin' of the melons
An' their hearts of red!
Loafin' in the sunshine,--
That is what I said!
Mockin'-bird a-singin',
Tree-tops overhead!
Loafin' in the sunshine!
All the cares are dead,
Thinkin' of the melons
An' their hearts of red!
Loafin' in the sunshine,--
Work an' worry fled!
Heart's a-dancin' hoe-downs
With the roses red!
