Author: Thomas W. Talley [More Titles by Talley]

(He)  Is you a flyin' lark or a settin' dove?
(She) I'se a flyin' lark, my honey Love.
(He)  Is you a bird o' one fedder, or a bird o' two?
(She) I'se a bird o' one fedder, w'en it comes to you.
(He)  Den, Mam:
I has desire, an' quick temptation,
To jine my fence to yō' plantation. 

[The end]
