ttThc Little Old Sod Shanty on the
Claim.''

Air-"Old Log Cabin in the Lanc.''
am looking rather seedy now while holdin,
down my claim,
And my victuals are not always served the best
And the mice play slowly round me as lay I'M
down to rest
| In my little old sod shsnty on the claim.
Though my bill Of fare is always rather tame
But I'm happy as a clam on my land from Uncle
Sam,
In my little old sod shsnty OH my claim.
Cuonus.-The hinges are of leather, the window,
are not glass,
While the roof it lets the bowling blizzard in
| And hear the hungry coyote as he sneaks W
through the grass
Round my little old sod skanty on the claim
| But when left my eastern home SO happy ant
go gay,
To try to win my way to wealth and fame,
l little thought that I'd come down to burning
twisted hry
In my little old sod shanty on the claim.
My clothes are pla.tered DER with dough and In
looking like fright
| And the things are scattered round the room,
| And fear if p. II. Barnum's man should get hi,
He would take me from my little cabin home
l wish some kind hearted Miss would pity or
me take
And extricate me from the mess I'm in,
| The angel! how I'd bless her, il this her home
| she'd make,
| In my little old sod shanty on the claim.
And when we'd make our fortunes OH thest
| prailes of the west,
just as happy as two bed bugs we'd remain,
And we'd forget our trials and our troubles as
| we'd rest
| In our little old sod sllanty on the claim
And if Heaven should smile upon us with now
! and then an heir
To cheer orr hearts with honest pride to fame
o, then we'd be content for the years that W.
had spent,
In our little old sod slianty on the claim.
When time enough had lapsed and those little
brats
TO man and modest woAsnhool have grown,
| 1t won't look half no lossly when around us W.
shall look
And see other old sod .shantes on the claim
