JEST TURN TO AND DIG.

SilaS Snodgrass was a farmer
AS lived up in San Joaquin,
And about him folks kept saying:
Curious Teller ever seem"
But he always had the best crops
And rode in a bang-up rig,
And he lowed the way he did it
Was to jest turn to and dig.
Didn't waste much time er talking,
Hedn't none to spare, seq he,
But through all his words there always
Ran his quaint philosophy
If you'd ask him howsomever
He raised 'taters quite so big,
He'd say: 'Well, thet's very simple
If you jest turn to and dig"
Didn't talk much bout his neighbors,
Seemed to take a cheerful view;
Ask him how he was successful;
This is what he'd say to you:
You can raise the best potatoes,
You can own the finest pig
And the best corn crop a-gon'.
If you jest turn to and dig
People" seq he, ''think I'm lucky
Curou how some folks can't see:
Good hard work and plenty of it
Sail the luck claim, by geei
Makes no difference what yer tackle,
Whether things be small er big.
One thing sure. you'll be successful,
If YOU jest turn to and dig"
