Our thoughts got as thick an’ as musty an’ blue

As the cloud o’ tobacker smoke, mixed with the

steams

From the woolens that dried on the stringers

and beams.

Old Attegat Peter said we was bewitched;

He said that he seed the Old Gal when she

twitched

A fistful o’ hair out the gray hosses’ tail

For a-makin’ witch tattin’. She’d hung on a nail
