The river, fishin', 'most to town,

An' come back 'thout no fish a-tall,

An' Jim an' Jo they run an' bawl

An' tell their ma their pa hain't fetch'

No fish,—she scold again an' ketch

Her old broom up an' biff him, too.—

An' he ist cry, an' say, "Boo-hoo!

I told you what I 'd do some day'."

An' he ist turned an' runned away
