Sweet Violets 1882 <\/span><\/p>\n

Start with Chorus<\/span><\/p>\n

[ C – G7 ] There once was a farmer who took a young miss
\nIn back of the barn where he gave her a
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Lecture on horses and chickens and eggs,
\nAnd told her that she has such beautiful
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

[ C – G7 ] Manners that suited a girl of her charms,
\nA girl that he’d like for to take in his
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Washing and ironing, and then if she did,
\nThey could get married and raise lots of<\/span><\/p>\n

Chorus<\/span>
\n[C] Sweet violets,\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Sweeter than any [G7] roses.<\/span>
\nCovered all over from head to toe,<\/span>
\nCovered all over with [C] sweet [F] violets. [C]
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

[ C – G7 ] The girl told the farmer <\/span>that he\u2019d better stop.<\/span>
\nAnd she called her father <\/span>and then called a<\/span><\/p>\n

taxi<\/span> and got there before very long.<\/span>
\n\u2018cause someone was doin\u2019<\/span> his little girl<\/span><\/p>\n

[ C – G7 ] right<\/span> for a change and so <\/span>that\u2019s why he said.<\/span>
\nIf you marry her, son,<\/span> you\u2019re better off<\/span><\/p>\n

single<\/span> \u2018cause it\u2019s always been my belief,<\/span>
\nmarriage will bring<\/span> a man nothing but<\/span><\/p>\n

\n[C] Sweet violets,\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Sweeter than any [G7] roses.<\/span>
\nCovered all over from head to toe,<\/span>
\nCovered all over with [C] sweet [F] violets. [C]
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

[ C – G7 ] The farmer decided <\/span>he\u2019d wed anyway,<\/span>
\nand started in planning <\/span>for his wedding<\/span><\/p>\n

suit <\/span>which he purchased for<\/span> only one buck.<\/span>
\nBut then he found <\/span>he was just out of<\/span><\/p>\n

[ C – G7 ] money<\/span> and so he got left in the lurch.<\/span>
\nA-standin\u2019 and waitin\u2019<\/span> in front of the<\/span><\/p>\n

end<\/span> of the story,<\/span> which just goes to show,<\/span>
\nall a girl wants from a man is his<\/span><\/p>\n
