Sweet Violets - Original |
| 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 |
