Tammy and the Bachelor

Tambey 'Tammy' Tyree: [reciting to party guests] I come from Virginie, Sir / I've been walkin' all the way alongside the wagon, ox-drawn / I've been sleepin' on the ground by night and walkin' all the day / I've come to this great house to sell fresh eggs I'm totin'em in my bonnet.

Peter Brent: Oh, why don't you come in. We have need of eggs.

Tambey 'Tammy' Tyree: It will pleasure me, Sir, for sure.

Party Guest: That's a lovely gown that you're wearing.

Tambey 'Tammy' Tyree: It was made in Virginie / My mammy sewed it for me with a needle and fine thread. / She made it strong for lastin' because it was a far piece to come.

Party Guest: I like to hear about that.
