The mosquitoes are gamer.
Because, when the devils are cast out
They cannot go tire hog route;
Because cotton's destroyed ever!
There's nothing but white side
about,
In Marlboro.
We farm by this good rule,
Easy followed by any "fule."
Because, "a nigger ana mule"
With "8-four- four"
And more -more-more,
Makes cotton grow, grow, grow,
In Marlboro.
MY credit Is badly hurt,
Because, with a ton to each acre o
dirt,
1t Is so very risky.
l kill bugs with whisky,
Burn lice with soda;
Hook worms feed on "nigger" odor
In Marlboro.
With elbows crook heres how"
In can I buy my cow,
Because milk Is notion, butter al
goshen;
Corn in Chicago, hogs in Ohio;
For hay "on the Wabash"
spend all my cash,
In Marlboro.
1t makes the Yankee smile,
Because Pee Dee bottoms are rich a!
Nile;
The climate is so mild,
That oats grow wild;
Acorns and cane; bermuda all over,
Haws, huckleberry and clover.
In Marlboro.
If we had horse" sense,
WED buy wire fence,
Hogs and cows to keep.
Because with big flock Of sheep,
We'd raise less hell and cotton,
And more beef and mutton.
In Marlboro.
Our fathers found it true,
But we never knew,
A fertilizer factory's near,
In each old cow and big fat steer,
Because, we depend you see
On the great V. c.
In Marlboro.
The shirt of the Sultan Of Sulu,
The clout Of the King Of Zulu,
The lingerie from gay Paree,
The clothes of the heather Chinee,
All come through me,
In Marlboro.
Fifth Avenues dainty belle
And London's howIing swell,
It's silk they think;
But l know well,
Because Dave Coker grew the seed,
And Bob or Wallace. the Webber
weed,
Here is how it goes,
The Goddess of Liberty in cotton
clothes;
In the sweet lure Of her smile,
I forget woman's guile.
In Delilah's arms, soft and round,
With rope Of cotton, Samson's safe
ly bound.
In Marlboro.
What does he care If his eyes are out
So long as Delilah leads him about;
But If ever she whispers in his ear,
Pull 1T down, Samson dear"
Blind eyes, see red, with toss Of his
head,
A laugh and a sigh, without look
at the sky;
Because why, he hardly knows, ..
But down the temple goes,
In Marlboro.
1t is clearly writ that Joseph's coat,
Was not from skin of goat.
1t was of many hues,
Because made from Marlboro blues.
Joseph to Pharaoh was sent,
Because that coat to a lady he lent,
In Marlboro.
cyhoho,, O,oo, oottor ,too,,,no, ,rora
When she went to see Solomon In
days of yore.
Solomon was awfully wise;
Because though he had 700 wives,
From stockings he never took his eyes,
In Marlboro.
The lice that my cotton hurt,
Do not live under the dirt,
In automobiles they ride around.
But never a bale of middling is
found.
With lordly mien they do declare,
There's no such thing as middling
fair"
In Marlboro.
The tick that gets my goat"
Is the old rusty shoat.
Parasite Of the body polite.
Eradicate the sort of cattle tick,
That by lending money
Extracts all the honey,
In Marlboro.
With his fiercest bark,
The darn'd old shark,
Kicks my houn dog aroun,"
Knocks my cotton down;
Because, every bale can make,
He doth surely take,
In Marlboro.
The hook k-worms that do harm
Are not bred on the farm,
But in the court rt-house shadow,
Like the poisonous adder,
They sit in the shade,
While cotton is made,
In Marlboro.
Thou shalt steal no more"
And Teddy waved his sombero.
Hover that may be,
1t does seem strange to me,
Because, l who tend the dirt,
Must wear last years shirt,
While King George blows his nose,
And the Car covers his toes,
With cotton that grows, everybody
knows,
In Marlboro.
Like young eagle seeking change,
Or lions cub wider range,
| scaled the loftiest peak,
Only to find it cold and bleak.
Fifty years of storm and strife,
And l sigh for the farmers life,
In Marlboro.
The setting sun. burning ember,
The lonely pine tips in splendor;
Standing strong against the sky,
Its shadow on deep waters lie;
In the south winds moan
Fallen angels groan,
In Marlboro.
On the waters "a kindly light"
Only shadows speak of coming
night;
AS feathers dropped, tell of eagle
flight.
With the traces ringing. the plow-
man singing,
