Work rating: Low


Shadder in de valley   Sunlight on de hill,   Sut`ny wish dat locus`   Knowed how to be still.   Don`t de heat already   Mek a body hum,   `Dout dat insec` sayin`   Hottah days to come?   Fiel` `s a shinin` yaller   Wid de bendin` grain,   Guinea hen a callin`,   Now`s de time fu` rain;   Shet yo` mouf, you rascal,   Wha` `s de use to cry?   You do` see no rain clouds   Up dah in de sky.   Dis hyeah sweat`s been po`in`   Down my face sence dawn;   Ain`t hit time we `s hyeahin`   Dat ah dinnah ho`n?   Go on, Ben an` Jaspah,   Lif yo` feet an` fly,   Hit out fu` de shadder   Fo` I drap an` die.   Hongry, lawd a` mussy,   Hongry as a baih,   Seems lak I hyeah dinnah   Callin` evahwhaih;   Daih `s de ho`n a blowin`!   Let dat cradle swing,   One mo` sweep, den da`kies,   Beat me to de spring!`
