HOW ARE YOU RAISING

You are raising cotton and
 corn, you say, AS fine as the earth will grow You are raising cattle and hogs
 and sheep That win wherever they go; You are raising wheat that is
 hard to beat, And 1 know you are coining

 soil:
 How are you raising your
 son? Do you take the time to talk
 with him Of the things he ought to
 know? Do you show him the good and bad of life,
 And teach him the way to go? Does he trust in you as a son
 should do? Do you make him your friend
 or slave? Will he stand some day with
 his fellow men, Honest and strong and
 brave? Oh, cotton and corn and wheat
 and oats Are things we ought to grow, And cattle and hogs and a bank
 account Are good for a man, 1 know But the ribbons you take, and
