The crops;are killed,
And the rye amt. stilled.
And the weather won't work for wish
The mill won't grind,
And the mules gone blind,
And there Amt no bait for fishing.
The trains gone by,
And the Wells rGa dry.
And the taters are mostly rotten.
AS sure is you're born,
Well be short on corn,
And we won't make 8 pound OF cotton,
