Dear children, gether round my knee,
And ceas your squeel awhile,
That may now make known To thee
Why we 20 longer smile.
In years gone by mid pqsturas fair
We've lived and rooted well,
And many camas gathered there
BY yender little rill.
We've chased the squirrel TO his hole,
And grunted in our ease
While on our sides the fat did roll
As we gethered the wild peas.
But children dear, that time is past
We mere shall see it more,
From Chicago there has come at last,
And this we may deplore,
A company of wicked men
Who valne not our wives
Who drive Us TO the sticking pen
And offer un our lives.
To Cottonwood these men did go
And buildings large and grand
Just after the departtG d snoW
Erected on the strand.
Here Pens they built. US to cnnfine
And boilers tubs and tanks
They treighted from the railroad lines
To cure our hams and flanks
Upon this alter Of our doom
Three hundred on each weak
Are driven from our happy homes
And thre are made to meat.

And hams and spareribs too
TfNG.cut us all from line to line
No Natter what we do.
They place us in a pickle brine
And then tn smoke apply,
Until our hides are turhed to rine
And then to canYas fly
And then they ship us off by rail
With monogram m st grand
With some in cloth and some in pai

Now Piggies dear remember why
Be careful how you ear
These horlid men they meyer buy
A pigsie poor on feet.
Else by and by they sure will come
And poke you in the ribs
And tell our owner though kind he bt
They want yonr royal nibs.

No matter how you squeel
And there they sure viii lay you low
