I see these Davids watching o'er their flocks

In Palestine. (To-day they watch their stocks

And clip the coupons from their bonds, you see,

Just as they sheared the lambs in Galilee.)

There milk and honey in abundance vied

To keep the Simple Simons satisfied;

But here to luxuries the Josephs cling,

And milk the honey from most everything.

Time was when you were treated with disdain

But now the tune is quite a changed refrain,
