Classic Poem

Jes' don' seem I want to stay
Sence she went away.
Jes' don' seem as if I care;
Everything seems bare
An' empty now, an' so I say
Jes' don' seem I want to stay.

Sun shines, bird songs in th' air,
Jes' don' seem I care.
All th' music o' th' spring
Don' seem anything.
Used to love it, but today
Jes' don' seem I want to stay.

Walkin' roun' th' field today,
Don' look th' same way;
Cattle lowin', crop to spare,
Jes' seems I don' care.
Scent o' flowers an' new cut hay, —
Jes' don' seem I want to stay.

Used to like to hear th' breeze
Rustlin' through th' trees;
Thought th' grass a-growin' green
Prettiest thing I seen.
All changed sence she went away,
Jes' don' seem to want to stay.
