“OLD BOB WHITE”
Old Bob White's a funny bird!—
Funniest you ever heard!—
Hear him whistle,—“Old—Bob—White!”
You can hear him, clean from where
He's 'way 'crosst the wheat-field there,
Whistlin' like he didn't care—
“Old—Bob—White!”

Whistlin' like he didn't care—
“Old—Bob—White!”
Whistles alluz ist the same—
So's we son't fergit his name!—
Hear him say it?—“Old—Bob—White!”
There! he's whizzed off down the lane—
Gone back where his folks is stayin'—
Hear him?—There he goes again,—
“Old—Bob—White!”
