An' when he's killed him dead, w'y, nen

The old Snake's drownded dead again!

Nen Bear set in the boat an' bowed

His back an' rowed—an' rowed—an' rowed—

Till he's safe home—so tired he can't

Do nothin' but lay there an' pant

An' tell his childern, "Bresh my coat!"

An' tell his wife, "Go chain my boat!"

An' they're so glad he's back, they say

"They knowed he's comin' thataway
