SIX FEET OF EARTH,

SIX FEET OF EARTH.
I will sing you q song Of the world and its ways,
And the many strange people we meet;
From the rich man who rolls In his millions Of
wealth,
To the poor struggling wretch on the street.
Though man may be poor and in tatters and
rags,
We know that we ought not despise
But think OF the adage, Remember, my friends,
That Elk feet of earth makes us all of one size
There is many coat that is tattered and torn.
But beneath, lies q true honest heart;
But, because he is not dressed like his neighbor,
in silk,
Why, society keeps them apart.
On one fortune smiles while the other one falls,
No matter what venture he tries
Till death in the end calls them both to the
grave
And six feet OF earth makes them both OF one
size.
Now, If you meet poor fellow who tries
To battle the wodd and its frowns,
just lend him a hand and perchance he'll sue.
ceed;
Don't crush and still keep him down;
For a cup of cold water in charity given,
Is remembered with Joy in the skies,
We ar e all but human-we've all got to die,
And six feet Of earth makes us all OF one size.
