LITTLE PATCH O' BLUE, by                    
First Line: Twas one o' them 'ere blusterin' days
Last Line: But I shan't soon forget.
Subject(s): Clouds; Storms


'Twas one o' them 'ere blusterin' days
That comes in early spring,
The wind was whistlin' round the house --
It blew like anything,

Floppin' the clothes out on the line,
Shakin' the trees about,
Switchin' the vines agin the wall
An' rattlin' the eaves-spout.

The sky was full o' flyin' clouds --
The wind it chased 'em so --
I can't begin to tell you now
How hard the wind did blow,

Ner how them gray clouds scampered past,
Like they was scart, ner yet
Jest how the hull thing made me feel --
But I shan't soon forget.
