But conclude they We bout mado up their mind
This Amt the Guest time TO 90 il blind,
Nor these amt meters thct with politics swings,
But COOS way down amongst the roots O. things.
Coz Sumner talked O. whtcwashin' one day
They wuu let four Yeas war be thrOwod away. - .
Let the South hey her rightsl" They say. "Tdefs
But nut grob hold Of other fol1s's tu."

But lot them kin o smugele in ez Co;
Did lie diskiver IT. Constable numbers
Think thet the JOB taken by Columbus
Did he set tn an make it wut it 10
Fl 50, guess the One Man-power hes ris
Did no put thru the rebbes, clear the docket
An pay IN expenses out OF his own pocket
III thet's TIE case, then eyerythin' eIos
Ist hev him come az pay my ennooal texcs
VAST he tibet shou deTed sll them million guns
Did no lose all the fathers, brothers, sons ?
Is this ere pop gov mcnt thet wo run

An is the country goin' to knucklo down
TO hev Smith sort their letters std o Brown 7
Who wuz the 'Nited States fore Richmon fell

The GURUS way in which the States are sovereign;
They amt nut quite enough so 10 rebel,
But, when they lin u s costly toraise IL
Why then, FOR jes' The same supcd tive reason,
Ihey re most too much to be fetched for treason,
They can't 90 out, but if they somehow dI.

Once on time the wolves had certing rights
Inside the fold; they used TO sleep there nights,
An bein' cousins o. the dogs, they took
Their turns ct watchin, reg Tar o. book.
somehow. when the dogs
Thor love o. mutton beat their love o sheep,
Till grsdilly the shepherds come to SEQ
Things war nj agoin' ez they'd ough to boz
So they sent of a deacon 10 demonstrate
Along tn the wolves an urge EN- TO go Oh straight
They did n seem n to set much BY the deacon,
Fin'ly they swore thet thay'd goout an stay,
An hev their fill o. mutton every day:
Then dogs an shepherds, artcr much hard dammin',
Turned tn an give em a tOrmeDted lammin,
An SEE, I" Ye sha' Mt go ont, the mUrrain rot ye,
To keep US wastn' half our time 10 watch ye"
But then the question come, How 1.-Two together
'Thout losin' Sleep nor nary yew nor wether2
Now there wuz some dogs lnoways with their keep
That sheored their cousins tastes an sheered tho Sheep
They sez, BE gin'rous lot en- swear right in,
AM eff they backslide, let EN- swear ag'ini
Jes let en- put sheop-skins whilst they 70 swearl
To ask for moro 'ould DO beyond all bearin.'
