They chased the bums ter Hick’ry Run,

An’ thar the Baptis’s tarred

An’ feathered ev’ry doggone one,

An’ chucked ’em under guard.

Them boys is crackin’ stun terday;

A new church stan’s in Sims’,

An’ now in peace they watch an’ pray

An’ sing their Baptis’ hymns.


Yep, Egyp’s dry; ’z a gin’ral thing
