DOdged tnet StXty-fourty stuff,
An L guess them city slickers
Thought that L was purity tough
They found me sort'a wise alright,
But talk erbout yer pickens,
While steering from them ''fourty" guys,
l fell in with the chickens.
So this is how 1 sized it up.
It's -.fourty'' from the men.
But when the other sex gifts you,
They git you "ninety-ten.
An. when you've lost yer bank-ron
You are feelin' sort a blue,

Now, didn't l tell you?'
You will wish you had excepted
That old ''fourty' from the men
Sted of lettin' them said chickens
