When your luck is running crosswise

And misfortune has its finger
Pointing right direct at you,
When the cards are stacked against yol
Each deal running to the bad,
For what ails you then. my children,
Try little good want ad.

And will not give down her milk,

When she should be fine as silk
If the hens remark of laying
