‘Tain’t a knowin’ kind o’ cattle

Thet is ketched with mouldy 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 ahold o’ me!...

Ez fer war, I call it murder,—

There you hev it plain an’ flat;

I don’t want to go no furder

Than my Testyment fer that;
