'Kase ef you do, you ain't a-gwine to cotch anoder thing;
But ef a sarpent-doctor bug sh'd 'light upon de pole,
You knows you's good for cotchin' all de fishes in de hole.
Dah! now you has de science what a fisherman sh'd know;
So, any time yo' ready, all you has to do's to go,
An' toiler dem instruckshuns—ef you does it, to de notch,
Good marster! won't it s'prise de folks to see de mess you cotch!
