W:When this flower grows up just as big as he can be,
W:We cuts him in small pieces, no bigg'er'n a pea,
W:We puts him in the barrel, where he begins to smell
W:S'help me goodncss gracious, don't this Dutchman love him well!
W:
W:Puts in some cayenne pepper, we don't put any snuff,
W:We puts a little salt and some other kind of stuff.
W:Puts him in a barrel and whcn he begins to smell
W:S'help me goodness gracious, don't this Dutchman love him well!

W:When this kraut begins to smell till he can't get any smeller,
W:Puts him in a barrel and takes him down the cellar,
W:Puts him in a kittle and when he begins to bile
W:Bet you forty dollars you can smell him fifty mile.
