There are men who work the brakewheel,
They have just dropped in to say
That a little raise in wages
Would be meet for the oppressed
Ills a Just claiIn-they have made it;
Ny friend Deuel. does the rest.
Then n weeping woman enters,
And her heart is filled with fears,
But his words Of welcome canm her,
And his kind face dries her tears.
Then she speaks about The children,
Whose brave father is at rest;
she is poor-tho same old story
My friend Deuel. does the rest.
