Once there was a girl and she was right from the sticks

She decides to go to the market one day.
and hey, we could sure say of the town
She becomes the talk of the town.

Emphasizing her popularity without boasting.
but scads of lads would all surround her,
Many guys are attracted to her.
city slickers sure would hound her
City people pursue her.

Cast your eyes upon my ware and you will have no other care

there'll be no other worry there if you see the crazy fare you'll have

I got them fresh this very morning from the backyard and I picked them all myself

What are you trying to prove will all your talk of beans
Questioning the skepticism about talking about beans.
yes I know that they look crazy but they are just beans only beans
Defending the simplicity of the beans.
and they will have to go cause there is something you should know
Recognizing that not everyone may like the beans.
although I think your beans are great, well you can leave them off my plate
Declining the beans despite their quality.
cause they're not my favorite dish
Expressing a preference for greens over beans.
I like greens I can't stand beans
Strong dislike for beans.
and I cannot stand to have those beans around me, and I will tell you further more
