A man he owned q terrier dog

And that there pup got that there man
In many an ugly mnss.
For the man was on his muscle,
And the dog was on his bite;
And to kick the dorg>goned snirnile
Was sure to raise fight
A woman owned Thomas rat,
That fit at fifteen pounds;
A nd other cats got up and slid
When that there cat was around.
The man and his dorg came along one day,
Where the woman sine did dwell,
A nd the purp he growled ierociously,
The went for that cat peil>mell.
He tried to chaw the neck Of the cat,
But the cat he wouldn't be chawed,
So he liz on the back of that there dorg
md Bit! and chawed! and ciawed!
Oh the hair it flew and the purp he youled
As the claws went into his hide.
And chunks OF flesh were peeled from his
side,
Then he fiummexed, and kicked, and died!
The man he ripped, and cursed, and swore,
As he gathered big brick-bat.
That he would-be durned essentially
Ii he didn't kill that cat!
But the old woman lowed she'd be blessed
if he did,
And snatched up an old shotgun,
Which she fired and pePpered his diaphragm
With bird. shot number one.
They toted him home on window blind,
And the doctor cured him up,
But he never was known to fight again,
Or own another purp.
FolKs may turn up their snoots at this here

don't care a cuss for that
All want to show is, that fighting dogs
May tackle the wrong Tomcat.
