(Comedy monologue not transcribed.)

Springtime is comin', sweet lonesome birds
Your echo in the woodland I hear
While down in the meadow, so lonesome your singin’
While the moonlight is shinin' so clear
But I know I'm away in a far distant land
A land that is over the sea
Go fly to her singin’ your sweet little song
Tell her to come back to me

Sweet fern, sweet fern
Oh tell me, is my darlin' still true?
Sweet fern, sweet fern
I'll be just as happy as you

Upon her finger I placed a dime ring
On the day I was leavin' my home
She promised she'd be my own dear little girl
And love my wherever I roam
But I know I'm away in a far distant land
A land that is over the sea
Go fly to her singin' your sweet little song
Tell her to come back to me

Sweet fern, sweet fern
Oh tell me, is my darlin' still true?
Sweet fern, sweet fern
I’ll be just as happy as you
