She was one of them new women that

Went around the country tellin' things
she thought folks ought to know:
Said that man had been usurpin' rights
which should belong to her,
air was full Of fur
Told us half the men We're worthless
LaWSey! how she used to list
Rip US up and down the backs and
pound the table with her fist.
1 remember how she give it to the Teller
With Il chew
Said nc ought to live With pigs, and she
was right about it. too!
have often heard her shoutin' that tbs
man what took drink
Didn't have the necessary apparatus
fer to think;
She would wave her arms and holler
that the joyous time was here
When the women were a-Song to git
in their proper sphere.
That was prior to her marriage; she
was plump and purity then
Might have lad her choice Of nearly
all tbs good -f"r-nuthin men;
Eut a Teller from the county that jincs

Got a chance to whisper to her. and
