When ye git the light extinguished an yer
bare feet'S on the floor
An yer ready to retire, an there's frost upon
the door
To say nothin' of the windows-an ye know it
A plunge into ice water when ye dive between
Yer prayers seem most a hudden, an We want
But We kneel an start out bravely an
then finish 'em in bed.
