BANTY TIM. :



Remarks of Sergeant Tilmon Joy to the White
Man's Committee of spunky Point, Illinois:
reckon l get your drift, gents
You low the boy shan't stay;
This is white mans country:
You're Democrats you say; -
And whereas, and seen and wherefore,
The times bein' all out O. jint,
The niger has got to mosey
From the limits of Spunky P1nt
Let's reason the thing minute;
I'm an old fashioned Democrat too,
Though laid my politics out O. the way
For to keep till the war was through.
But come back here, allowin'
To vote as 1 used to do,
Though it grayes me like the devil to train
Along o'sich fools as you.
Now, dog my cats eff l kin see,
In all the light of the day,
What you've got to do with the question
Eff Tim shall go or stay.
And furder than that give notice,
Eff one of you tetches the boy,
He kin check his trunks to q warmer clime
Than he'll find in Illanoy.
Why. blame your hearts, just hear me!
You know that ungodly day ST. -
When our left struck Vicksburg Heights, how
ripped
And torn and tattered,w we lay
When The rest retreated staid behind,
Fur reasons sufficient to me
With rib caved in, and leg on a strike,
Isprawled on that cursed glacee.
Lord how the hot sun went for us.
And Drilled and blistered and burned.
How the rebel bullets whizzed round US
When cuss in his death grip turned
Till along toward dusk l seen thing
isIcouldnt BELIEVE for spell
That nigger-that Tim-was a crawlin to me
Through that fire proof, gilt-edged hell!
The rebels seen him as soon as me,
And the bullets whzzed like bees;
But he jumped for me, and shouldered me,
Though shot brought him once to his knees
But he staggered up, and packed me off,
With a dozen sumbes and falls,
I'll safe in our lines he drapped us both,
His black hide riddled with balls.
So my gentle gazeles, that's my answer,
Ana acre Jays Banty Tim;
He trumped Deaths for me that day,
Aud I'm not going back on him
GU may rezoloot till the come home,
But eff one of you tetches the boy,
He'll wras lie his hash to night in hell
Or my name is not Tim Joy
