On them kittle-drums o’ yourn,

’Tain’t a knowin’ kind o’ cattle

Thet is ketched with moldy corn;

Put in stiff, you fifer feller,

Let folks see how spry you be—

Guess you’ll toot till you are yeller

’Fore you git a-hold o’ me!

Thet air flag’s a leetle rotten,

Hope it ain’t your Sunday’s best—

Fact! it takes a sight o’ cotton
