W'en I'm lightin' up de pipe on de evenin' affer work,

An' de powder dat young rascal's puttin' in,

It was makin' such a pouf, nearly blow me t'roo de roof—

W'at's de way you got of showin' 'twas a sin?

"Wall! I put heem on de jail right away,

You may bet de wan is got de beeges' wall!

A honder foot or so, w'ere dey never let heem go,

Non! I wouldn't kip a boy lak dat at all."

Dat's good advice for sure, very good,

On de cellar, bread an' water—it'll do,
