ON POND CREEK.

n &
BY Master James G. Runyon.
Population is growing,
On Pond Creek.
Some people are a-mowing,
On Pond Greek.
Most women are a sewing,
The fiddlers are a ibowing,
And we see the water flowing,
On Pond Creek.
The children are the best,
On Pond Greek.
The people always rest,
On Pond Creek.
The houses are the whackest,
The dogs are the traekest,
And the negroes are the blacklist,
On Pond Greek.
The women are the prettiest,
On Pond Creek.
The farmers are the readieist,
On Pond Creek.
The boys are the meanest,
The people are the cleanest,
And the hogs are the leanest,
On Pond Creek.
The whiskey is the best,
On Pond Creek.
With the politics progressed,
On Pond Creek.
The blasts are the loudest,
And city girls the proudest,
And the farmers are not doubted
On Pond Creek.
The farmers have a saddle,
On Pond Creek.
And city girls ride a-straddle,
On Pond Creek.
The railroad is the newest,
The white folks are the fewest,
And our politics is the truest,
On Pond Creek.
