But the cracks in the sides o’ their tie-ups are

wide as the door o’ their pew,

And the winter comes in there a-howlin’, with

the sleet and the snow peltin’ through.

Step in there, sir, ary a mornin’ and look at their

critters! ’Twould seem

As if they were bilers or engines, and all o’

them chock full o’ steam.

I’ve got an old-fashioned religion that calkalates

Sundays for rest,
