Ef fo’ bread yo’ ax er bruddah,
An’ instead yo’ git er stone,
An’ yo’ ax fo’ consullayshun,
An’ yo’ bahly git er groan,
An’ sum knock yo’ off yo’ shins,
An’ think yo’ nebah gwine to rise,
Swah to God dey nebbah dun it,
Meekly tell all kine o’ lies;
Let ’em go on hykerflootin’,
Ebbry dog sho’ habs his day;
