An beg us t. live in holier way.
Steer clear O. the pitfalls we find in our
An merit Gods mercy instead Of His
They think the things easy L do just
They've never crossed swords with the
natural laws
OF circumstance-law which can't be un-
derstood
BY the fellers who've nothin' T. do but be
good.
They live in mansion or cottage, Queen
An such things don't go With the @rushin'
Like a tenement does, where your domi-
Giles bare,
Except for a stove an three legged chair
They mean well when thus they invite US
Up some needed reforms, an our old ways
But Fates. bondage don't let us act just as
we should
If us fellers had nothin' t. do but be good
oh, it's six days o worlxin' for us, an the

That we find on the seventh amt alters

For morals, wen own, what with cards and
"can,"
But they're .throw-offs' that rest up a

Reformers the problem can solve-in a
