Come along old chap, yer time’s ’bout up,

We got another brindle pup;

I ’lows it’s tough an’ mighty hard,

But a toothless dog’s no good on guard,

So trot along right after me,

An’ I’ll put yeh out o’ your misery.

Now, quit yer waggin’ that stumpy tail—

We ain’t a-goin’ fer rabbit er quail;

’Sides, you couldn’t pint a bird no more,

Yer old an’ blind an’ stiff an’ sore,
