To tell YOU of dol-ful tall

Whereby tue lovers OF tho land
May learn the way rise,
Because for why ho once stood high
who now so lowly lice
All in tho west there was n wight
They called him larry Clay,
nc could not rest At all at night
For eating all the day
And once as no was troubled sore
\ lying ON his back
Tho Devil came with eyes Of Gams
And his path was sulphsr track.
Aud "Horry rise tho Devil said
"Ariso and follow me-
Thea up jumped Harry from he bed,
n naked man was hes
And swear upon this holy book
"Ny to 'olow true,
And years full four, aud may be more
"Thc land shall yield to you"
But Harry doubted, for no knew
The Devil was n liar,
had heard him called, at meeting too
or lies ptimeval sire,
Hn turned away, aud as no turned
lie east anoiher glimpse
And saw at n look, he could cheat 2; that book
Tho Devil aud all his inps
a pack of cards !, was a pack
AS there are many more
Prepared FOR turning tho lack

Then Harry swoTo by club and heart
And Satan gtieVcd again
And tho stencil that flew out, iron, his nos,rils .sor,
You might nose from Kentucky to Maine.
oh ,hcn i, wa.a wondrous sight
. 70 see the Devil take
HIS tail L. ono hund for to write,
With ink from tho brr stone lako.
Awhile he wrote, awhile he looked
On Harry with eef-
Now take the Pen, and sign nmong
"Come, sign man, never fear"
So wicked c lay did take the pom
Nor did at FIRST perceive,
That he had burned his fingers then
As you may well believe.
Twas hard to sign at first, but then
TWAS easy when begun.
wow blast my eyes 40 tho whoe''
sad Cay aud It was done.
The Devil shouted and the crew
OF young ones did as well
They Kicked and cupped and shouted tive
Ihro' all he courts of hell
The noise was long, the noiso wa, loud
me din It was uemendous-
Aud Hal amazed on Satan gased.
And half cried, God defend us
when Satan saw tina, Hal was some.
What frightened az the noise,
In gentler sound he babe como

"And banished from the ly' for thes
"Dn earth again encroach,
"sly mphngs ALL both great and small.
