Work rating: Low


Slow de night `s a-fallin`,   An` I hyeah de callin,     Out erpon de lonesome hill;   Soun` is moughty dreary,   Solemn-lak an` skeery,     Sayin` fu` to "whip po` Will."   Now hit `s moughty tryin`,   Fu` to hyeah dis cryin`,     `Deed hit `s mo` den I kin stan`;   Sho` wid all our slippin`,   Dey `s enough of whippin`     `Dout a bird a`visin` any man.   In de noons o` summah   Dey `s anothah hummah     Sings anothah song instid;   An` his th`oat `s a-swellin`   Wid de joy o` tellin`,     But he says dat "Katy did."   Now I feels onsuhtain;   Won`t you raise de cu`tain     Ovah all de ti`ngs dat `s hid?   W`y dat feathahed p`isen   Goes erbout a-visin`     Whippin` Will w`en Katy did?
