Guv’mint ain’t to answer for it,

God’ll send the bill to you.

Wut’s the use o’ meetin’-goin’

Every Sabbath, wet or dry,

Ef it’s right to go amowin’

Feller-men like oats an’ rye?

I dunno but wut it’s pooty

Trainin’ round in bobtail coats,—

But it’s curus Christian dooty

This ‘ere cuttin’ folks’s throats....
