FELLOWSHIP

When a man amt got a cent an mes
feelirg kind O. blue,
An the clouds hang dark an heavy
an wont let the sunshine thru
Its a great thing 0 my Brother for a
Teller jest to lay
HIS hand upon your shoulder IN a
friendly sort O. way!
It makes a man feel queerish; it makes
the tear drops start, "
An YOU sort O feel a futter in the re-
gion of your heart;
You can't look up and meet his eyes;
you don't know what to say
When his hand is on your shoulder
in a friendly sort o way.
O. the worlds a curious compound
with its honey and its gall,
With its cares and bitter sorrows but
a good world after all;
An a good God must have made it
q leas1wise that's what l say,
When a hand is on your shoulder in
friendly sort o way.
