An ever since I done the same, more privately, inside.

There's a joke between this world an me 'n it's tolerable grim,

An God has got his end of it, an some of it's on him.

For he made a man with his left han, an the rest o' things

with his right;

An the right knew not what the left han did, for he hep

it out o' sight.

It's maybe a Wagner opery, it ain't no bedtime croon,

When the highest note in the universe is a half note out

o' tune''
