For all he had such an appearance, when you see him, of bein' well! stiff and proud, he was fah moa common in his tastes I don't mean common, exactly, eitha than what I was; and many a time when we'd be drivin' through the country, and we'd pass some o' them long-strung-out houses, don't you know, with the kitchen next to the wood shed, and then an ahchway befoa you get to the stable, Mr.

His summer song is now heard more often than his spring song. Through April, May and June he sings: Fah do do'-do'-do'-do'-do' But now, this song is heard more often: Me' fah'-fah'-fah'-fah'-fah' This song is more appropriate to the summer.
