"Old Bob White"

Old Bob White's a funny bird!--
Funniest you ever heard!--
Hear him whistle,--"Old--Bob--White!"
You can hear him, clean from where
He's 'way 'crosst the wheat-field there,
Whistlin' like he didn't care--
"Old-Bob-White!"

Whistles alluz ist the same--
So's we won't fergit his name!--
Hear him say it?--"Old--Bob--White!"
There! he's whizzed off down the lane--
Gone back where his folks is stayin'--
Hear him?--There he goes again,--
"Old--Bob--White!"

When boys ever tries to git
Clos't to him--how quick he'll quit
Whistlin' his "Old-Bob--White!"
"Whoo-rhoo-rhoo!" he's up an' flew,
Ist a-purt'-nigh skeerin' you
Into fits!--'At's what he'll do.--
"Old-Bob--White!"

Wunst our Hired Man an' me,
When we drove to Harmony,
Saw one, whistlin' "Old--Bob--White!"
An' we drove wite clos't, an' I
Saw him an' he didn't fly,--
Birds likes horses, an' that's why.
"Old--Bob--White!"

One time, Uncle Sidney says,
Wunst he rob' a Bob White's nes'
Of the eggs of "Old Bob White";
Nen he hatched 'em wiv a hen
An' her little chicks, an' nen
They ist all flewed off again!
"Old--Bob--White!"
