They swore a stream of six-inch oaths

And fit, and fit, and fit.

"When Sam would try to work away,

And on his pegs to git,

The stranger'd pull him back; and so,

They fit, and fit, and fit!

"Then like a pair of lobsters, both

Upon the ground were knit,

And yet the varmints used their teeth,

And fit, and fit, and fit!!
