GOOD TIMES IN LEE.

What hat, care we for the bulls and bears
With possums runnia loose?
We grind the cane: goodby to cares
It's taters beer an juice.
The Sheriff hardly works ..at tan.
The debtor draws a breath:
The baiifs boss is in the stall
The bailifs starved 70 death
Good times in Lee when cotton goes
Al seven cents an over:

Are gone. The mules in clover
Bring out the fiddle draw the bow
Tread light the giddy mazes
Play like Miss Helen BlaZes!
So tune the fiddle. get the straWF.
And dance till out of breath
The legisla lures making laws
The ballit S starved to DEATH
