Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Songs of the Mississippi
And the stars and stripes are hoisted, You can see flags where you please; They are smiling on the farmer, As they float upon the breeze. You can see the prancing horses, And the cattle here and there, As the brass bands play their music At the Chillic'othe Fair. And his pretty smiling daughters Show the rosy bloom of health, As with Sparkling eyes they greet you, As you look upon their Wealth. And their lovely, spotless virtue, And their snowy teeth of pearl Merit all the World's high honor Oh, the pretty farmer's girl.
