I've worked in the field all day, a-plowin' the
| 'stony streak;o
I'xescolded my team till Pm hoarse I've tramp
ed till my legs are weak;
I've cholzed dozen swears (sos not 20 tell
Jane fbs) eoa9 i-J
When the plow-p'int struck stone and the
handles punched my ribs.
I've put my team in the barn. and rubbed their
sweaty coats; as
I've fed 'em heap of hay and half bushel of
oats;
And to see tho way they eat makes me like
eatin' feel.
And Jane won't say to-nighttha don't make
out a meal. a silsat i
Well saidI the dor is lOckedi but here she's

and me;
I wonder who's dyin or dead. that she's hustl.
