And fortune you will find am
For whoever gets rich must labor and dig.
And lay up there substance in store

And our labors all set aside,
Then cur gold will roll in toboegain hides,
While your gold will be stuck in the brain:
Just think OF the crops are raiscing,
And horses and mules by the score:
Then we can take all the lasses out riding,
To enjoy the sunshine and pure air.
You take the sons OF Missouri
You will find they all labor and dig:
And when ever they are IN need Of dollar;
There is always one to be found.
