You see I'm hevin' trouble at my rancho

SIGH as that

So I've come to the conclusion tibet Ill

Ispose you've seed that wife o mine-she
stands mig ID six feet high,
With il donble-geared electric jaw, an

She $ muscied like a pugilist-right on

Wal, she $ bin acarryin' on Of late to SIGH

That Eve passed resolution SIGH per-

So thought I'd git the handouts -au'
when she goes to sleep,
I'll slip 'em snugly on her wrists an
then revenge I'll reap.
I've tried to reconstruct her on the moral

But now Im goin' to try the vartue of a

An u general reconstruction air needed

Thar amt a woman on the range kin do
the work she kin,
An don't suppose she's charged above
with any grievOus sin,
But when q woman gins to buck, an
try to run the shop.
It's time to give the rope yank, an
fetch her to stop.
So good day, Mr.. Sheriff, I'll take these
tricks along,
To aid in teachin' Mary Jane to sing q

An when bring EN- back agin, it won't
