Jim Jones he was a candidate for Of

He had struggled long and often in
the Democratic cause.
And he'd heard Of the salary that an
office-holder draws,
So he went in for an Office in the
mornin
He brushed up his black beaver and
he polished up his boots.
He bought him twenty packages OF
Virginia-made cheroots;
And they missed him from the village
and his ordinary pursuits.
For he'd gone in for an office In the
mornin'.
Soon the mud had worn the polish
from his brogans and his boots,
And the pollytishans had smoked uI
all Of Jones fine cherOots;
And he lost his reputation in political
disputes,
And he never got the Office in tn,
