men who were discharged to make
room for Negroes" Oh how sadl

While days are getting hotter.
And make them work like other men,
Or live on bread and water.
And very soon our land will see
Full business restoration:

And stop this agitation.
Let jaw smiths rest their aching Jaws,
The wagging tongues stop going;
Let anarchists obey the laws
And stop their whirlwind sowing.
