Vern Rowell druv ’er out—seemed like all night;

’Twas nine afore they come.... He means reel well,

But Will he sez the Rowells ain’t quite right....

She was? She’s led the singin’ awful good;

I never tho’t she’d be baptized; Will sez—

O Willie! Git right off!—He’s clum the wood

Pile; that ’ar’ way he’ll fall—Lan’ sakes, he hez!
