Sweet Violets

Sweet Violets
Sweeter than the roses
Covered all over from head to toe
Covered all over with sweet violets

There once was a farmer who took a young miss
In back of the barn where he gave her a lecture
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 if she did
They could get married and raise lots of
Sweet violets
Sweeter than the roses
Covered all over from head to toe
Covered all over with sweet violets

The girl told the farmer that he'd better stop
And she call her father and he called a
Taxi and got there before very long
'Cause some one was doin' his little girl
Right for a change and so that's why he said
If you marry her son, you're better off single
'Cause it's always been my belief
Marriage will bring a man nothing but
Sweet Violets
Sweeter than the roses
Covered all over from head to toe
Covered all over with sweet violets

The farmer decided he wed anyway
And started in planning for his wedding
Suit which he purchased for only one buck
But then he found out he was just out of
Money and so he got left in the lurch
A standin' and waitin' in front of the
End of the story which just goes to show
All a girl wants from a man is his
Sweet Violets
Sweeter than the roses
Covered all over from head to toe
Covered all over with sweet violets

Sweet Violets

Pick of the Week

Title:Cindy, Oh Cindy
Artist: Vince Martin and The Tarriers - Contributor:Webmaster

Cindy, oh Cindy
Cindy don't let me down
Write me a letter soon
And I'll be homeward bound

I joined the Navy to see the world
But nowhere could I find
A girl as sweet as Cindy
The girl I left behind
I've sailed the wide world over
Can't get her out of my mind

Cindy, oh Cindy
Cindy don't let me down
Write me a letter soon
And I'll be homeward bound

I see her face in every wave
Her lips kiss every breeze
Her lovin' arms reach out to me
Through calm and stormy sea
At night I face the lonely deck
Caressed by memories

Cindy, oh Cindy
Cindy don't let me down
Write me a letter soon
And I'll be homeward bound

I know my Cindy's waiting
As I walk the deck alone
Her lovin' arms reach out to me
Soon I'll be heading home
Then my sailin' days will be over
And no more will I roam

Cindy, oh Cindy
Cindy don't let me down
Write me a letter soon
And I'll be homeward bound
