Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFFGGHBIJCCKK LLMNOOPPJIBB| Bud come here to your uncle a spell | A |
| And I'll tell you something you mustn't tell | A |
| For it's a secret and shore 'nuf true | B |
| And maybe I oughtn't to tell it to you | B |
| But out in the garden under the shade | C |
| Of the apple trees where we romped and played | C |
| Till the moon was up and you thought I'd gone | D |
| Fast asleep That was all put on | E |
| For I was a watchin' something queer | F |
| Goin' on there in the grass my dear | F |
| 'Way down deep in it there I see | G |
| A little dude Fairy who winked at me | G |
| And snapped his fingers and laughed as low | H |
| And fine as the whine of a mus kee to | B |
| I kept still watchin' him closer and | I |
| I noticed a little guitar in his hand | J |
| Which he leant 'ginst a little dead bee and laid | C |
| His cigarette down on a clean grass blade | C |
| And then climbed up on the shell of a snail | K |
| Carefully dusting his swallowtail | K |
| And pulling up by a waxed web thread | L |
| This little guitar you remember I said | L |
| And there he trinkled and trilled a tune | M |
| 'My Love so Fair Tans in the Moon ' | N |
| Till presently out of the clover top | O |
| He seemed to be singing to came k'pop | O |
| The purtiest daintiest Fairy face | P |
| In all this world or any place | P |
| Then the little ser'nader waved his hand | J |
| As much as to say 'We'll excuse you ' and | I |
| I heard as I squinted my eyelids to | B |
| A kiss like the drip of a drop of dew | B |
