A-THINKIN' o. THE HOMESTEAD,

Fer a year I've been a-stayin'
With my sou in Connersv;!Ie.
Bein' left alone, kinder
Thought I'd like to live with Bill,
Cause. you see. he was the youngest
And last to go OF all the folks,
Settin' round the fire in winter.
Eatin' nuts and crackin' Jokes.
Bill was ruther wild and reckless
Fore he reached his nineteenth year,
And he caused deal o trouble,
Keeping Us in constant fear
That he'd break his neck or suthin'
With his risky pranks and hoax.
Bat we missed him from the firesids,
EatIn' nuts and era ckin' Jokes.
BiIl weCt out to Californy,
Where he struck it rich in ore
Then he brought to IDdianny
All his gold from 'Frisco's shore.
And his bride. too. she was purity.
In her silks and sealskin cioaEs,
But somehow she wouldn't Join US
Eatiu' nuts and crackin' jokes.
Course, I 'spose it's mighty handy.
And this house is monstrous fine.
Havin' heat a -pou nn' into
Every rcum in winter time
And the gas all bright and burnin',
Never havin' oil that smokes.
Like we used to round the firesids,
Eatin' nuts and era ckin' Jokes.
And the beds are soft and downy.
All the cheers are cushioned. too,
And the paper on the ceilin'
Is shade o. green and blue.
And the butler and the coachman
Dress as fine as emmy folks
Finer'n Bill around the fireside.
Eatin' nuts and crackin jokes
But I'd ruther see the snowdrifts
By the windstorm piled up high:
See the hick'ry logs a-giowin'
Bright anu warm. as to defy
Winds and freezin'. howIin' weather,
And hear the moanin' OF the oaks.
AS we sat around the flreside.
Eatin' nuts and era ackin' Jokes.
And I'm Iongin' fer the homestead,
Fer the clover and the hay:
Longiu' fer the robin singin'
In the elnis at close of day.
Lnn>t1' fer the lowin' cattle
And the bullfrog's piaiDtive croaks,
And them evenin's round the fireside.
Eatin' nuts and crackin' jokes.
