But follow out a more successful plan,

Lest you, as I am now, remorseful be

For imitating U. S. Currency.

For forty cents an hour I slaved

At Delpont's Powder Mills;

And all the money that I saved

Scarce paid my funeral bills.

Erected to our father is this stone:

He couldn't leave the whiskey flask alone;

To Spirit World he vanished from our sight;
