A Hand on the Shoulder

When a man amt got a cent.
And he's feeling kind of blue,
And the clouds hang dark and heavy,
An won't let the sunshine through,
It's great thing, o my brethren,
Fer Teller just to lay
His hand upon your shoulder
In a friendly sort o way.
It makes a man feel curious,
1t makes the tear-drops start,
An you sort O. feel a fiutter
In the region of the heart;
You can look up and meet his eyes;
You don't know what to say
When his hand is on your shoulder
In friendly sort O way.
Oh, the worlds curious compound,
With its honey and its gall.
With its cares and bitter crosses
But good world after all.
An good God must have made it
Leastways, that is what l say
When hand is on my shoulder
In a friendly sort O way
