Re: "Sweet Violets" by Dinah Shore lyrics

My mom and dad used to sing a song while out driving on hot summer evenings. The song starts out something like: There once was a farmer who took a young miss, in back of the barn where he gave her a lecture on horses and chickens and eggs and told her that she had such beautiful manners that suited a girl of her charms, a girl who could take in his washing and ironing and then if she would, they could get married and raise lots of:

Chorus: Sweet violets.Sweeter than all the roses. Covered all over from head to toes. Covered all over with sweet violets

The song continues on for several verses but I can only remember bits and pieces. Does any one know the song and the words?

It's "Sweet Violets" by Dinah Shore.
