Out in Oldham County once	A
Met a boy who showed me how	B
He could milk an old red cow	B
Yes he was n't any dunce	A
Put me on an old gray mare	C
Rode me to an old mill where	C
They were grinding corn He filled	D
A big sack and then we sat	E
By the dam and there he killed	D
A black snake as long as that	E
	-
Then he showed me how to row	F
In an old flat boat that leaked	G
Where the dam was stained and streaked	G
With big lilies white as snow	F
Then he showed me how to swim	H
Jumping from a sycamore limb	H
While he splashed around why I	I
Waded up and down the shore	J
Then when he was dressed and dry	I
Mounted that old mare once more	J
	-
And he took the bag of meal	K
'That's for corn cakes ' so he said	L
'And it makes the grandest bread	L
Cornbread Ain't it heavy Feel '	-
And he slung it on across	A
That old mare who with a toss	A
Of her tail turned right for home	M
On the way he showed me where	C
Hornets had their nest like some	N
Foot ball made of paper there	C
	-
And he showed me how to catch	O
Bumblebees and how to keep	P
Them from stinging made a leap	P
Caught one in a clover patch	O
And he showed me then where they	Q
Stow their honey bags away	Q
Caught two bees and was n't stung	R
Took one's bag and gave it me	S
And I put it on my tongue	R
Sweet yes sir and smelt of bee	S
	-
Then he caught a locust took	T
Its two wings like some queer toy's	A
Showed me how it made its noise	A
Held it up and shook and shook	T
Till it rattled And that night	U
Showed me with a lantern light	U
How the pond toads puffed their throats	A
Each one like a toy balloon	V
Swelling piping reedy notes	A
Making music for the moon	V
	-
No he was n't any dunce	A
No sir Why he'd tell the time	W
By the sun he could And climb	W
Climbed a great tall poplar once	A
Hundred feet or more and straight	X
As the flag pole at our gate	X
When he's up there took his hat	E
Tossed it up and cried 'Hurrah '	-
Bet you no man could do that	E
No not even my own Pa	Y
	-
Lose him Why he'd tell his way	Q
In the darkest night he could	Z
In the deepest darkest wood	Z
By the stars he said by day	Q
Knew it by these lichens on	A2
Trunks of trees When I am grown	B2
He's a going to teach me all	C2
Everything he knows and I'm	W
Going there again this Fall	C2
Live there may be all the time	W
