THE SCALAWAG

He had no wealth, nor wealthy friends,
No costly diamond ring
No spectacles with golden sflens''
Through which to look at things.
He was peaceful Southern wight,
And fond of sweet repose,
And thought he should not have to fight,
Because he had no foes.
An honest man and lowly born,
Yet, when he had the blues,
At dewy eve or chilly morn,
He drank his honest BOOZE
He had no rich or noble dad,
No foolish family.pride,
And when he went to church he had
No blooded horse to ride.
de had no fertile valley land.
He ploughed without his shoes,
Aud left hissfootprints on The sand
Between the cotton rows
His sister, with her modestface,
And handsome home made gown,
Could win no prize Of rank or place,
Nor wealthy beau from town.
His best girl, as we may believe,
Was sweeter than the rose,
And yet, she had to>spin and weave,
To make her Sunday clothes.
His father owned no negro slaves,
His mother owned no waiter,
And he believed that "eolofed men,
Would have their freedom, later.
He, therefore, needed pot the call
OF Beauregard nor Bragg.
He never went to War at ALL
He was "scalawag"
He never went to war, because,
He knew il would not suit him
To dress himself in fighGiD2 ciothes
And let somebody shoot him.
He never went to war, Alas
AID when thev tried 10 make him,
He ran awav, and ran SO fash
That none could overtake him.
Into the widest woods he fed,
Where the Wild ose bloomed around him,
sAod the woedbine twined above his head,
And nobody ever found him.
And when the war was at an end,
In the year of jubilee
AS Lincoln turned the "niger loose,
The "scalawag was" free.
