“US TWO SHUCK HANDS.”
Seemed like we knew ther wuz goin’ to be
Serious trouble f’r me ’nd him;
Us two shuck hands, did Jim ’nd me,
But never a word from me or Jim!
He went his way ’nd I went mine,
’nd into the battle’s roar went we,—
I havin’ my opinyin uv Jim,
’nd he havin’ his opinyin uv me.
Jim never come back from the war again,
