I got Eliza's company,

An' leavin' Zekel in the lurch,

Went trottin' off with her to church.

An' jest as we had took our seat

(Eliza lookin' fair an' sweet),

Why, I jest could n't help but grin

When Zekel come a-bouncin' in

As furious as the law allows.

He 'd jest be'n up to Liza's house,

To find her gone, then come to church
