Dear Lord! 1 thought we were part
ners
When I started in this fight,
But everything has gone all wrong.
I don't think I'm in right.
You know l worked for many years
To pull my little stunts.
But lately things are on the bum
And Pm getting all the bumps.
At first went through Belgium
And shot her soldiers down;
l killed the kids and women folks,
And changed things all around.
We tore down all your churches
When the men got full Of wine;
didn't think you'd kick, you know,
As thought you \ friend Of mine.
My Zepplins bombed the cities
As through the air they tore,
But when I started for Paris.
Why, I noticed you were sore.
The damned French and British
stopped me. aq
And they would not let me pass;
l tried everything had on them.
Even to my poison gas.
My submarines were working fine,
And sinking lots Of ships;
But We sank that Lusitania,
And that started all my slips.
For = guy named Woodrow Wilson,
Up and butts right in my game.
But told him just where he got Oh
For thought me and you were the
same
He wrote me a lot Of letters,
Said, Willie. don't you get rough.
And as for sinking Yankee ships,
You just lay of that stuff.
But thought that I could count on
you,
And that things would 60 on we'll;
You must have double-crossed me.
For that fellows raising he'll.
I didn't think you'd throw mo
For democrat like that;
But It looks like the ninth inning
With the Allies at the bat.
For those Americans are over here;
They got past my submarines,
And II they keep on coming.
Why, they are sure to spill the
beans.
wish now I'd left them alone,
But thought they were just hicks,
And now that you have quit mo,
I'm In \ hell Of . fix.

And my dream I suppose is through.
certainly made m awful mistake.
