Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDE CAFAGHGG DADAACAC GAGAEIEI| They ain't no style about 'em | A |
| And they're sorto' pale and faded | B |
| Yit the doorway here without 'em | A |
| Would be lonesomer and shaded | C |
| With a good 'eal blacker shudder | D |
| Than the morning glories makes | E |
| And the sunshine would look sadder | D |
| Fer their good old fashion' sakes | E |
| - | |
| I like 'em 'cause they kindo' | C |
| Sorto' make a feller like 'em | A |
| And I tell you when I find a | F |
| Bunch out whur the sun kin strike 'em | A |
| It allus sets me thinkin' | G |
| O' the ones 'at used to grow | H |
| And peek in thro' the chinkin' | G |
| O' the cabin don't you know | G |
| - | |
| And then I think o' mother | D |
| And how she ust to love 'em | A |
| When they wuzn't any other | D |
| 'Less she found 'em up above 'em | A |
| And her eyes afore she shut 'em | A |
| Whispered with a smile and said | C |
| We must pick a bunch and putt 'em | A |
| In her hand when she wuz dead | C |
| - | |
| But as I wuz a sayin' | G |
| They ain't no style about 'em | A |
| Very gaudy er displayin' | G |
| But I wouldn't be without 'em | A |
| 'Cause I'm happier in these posies | E |
| And the hollyhawks and sich | I |
| Than the hummin' bird 'at noses | E |
| In the roses of the rich | I |
