Though he argued and he cussed,

Might not always get decisions—’twas accordin’

to the dust;

And ’twas therefore kind of needful, suh, right

after ev’ry heat,

To have another fight or so to settle who had

beat;

But they never left a grudge,

Even when they licked the judge.

And we wasn’t all teetotal, still we went it light
