Jest as tho you thought tho good Lord
Orter fix things all for You
"There are others" f. a sayin
Which is truth-and don't forget
There are others still alvin
You don't run this planet yet
Findin' fault with al mankin
Jest because the sun gifts cloudy
When you think 1t ought ter shine.
Jest you cheer UP a little.
Don't be gruntin' cause it's wet.
What suits yon may not suit others
God knows best what you are needn'.
Ana II lie shall find you
He will let some little sunbeam
From the dark clouds filter through.
