The moon was out, yet he didn't see
The little dog under the wagon.
Old spot he harkcd, and Spot he whined,
Aud spot he grabbed the thief behind,
And dragged him down In mlri and dirt;
lie tore his coat, aud tore his shirt;
lie held him with whi,k aud bound.
And he couldn't rise from the miry ground
while his legs and arms the farmer bound
Aud tuubled him into the wagon.
Old Spot he saved the farmers life,
Thc farmers mone,, the farmers wife;
