Ma fren Bill says hees ver good fur,

Same time good for eat,

So I tell ma wife, “I get fur coat

Same time get some meat.”

I walk, one, two, three, four mile.

I feel one awful smell—

I theenk that skunk hees gone and died

And fur coat’s gone to hal.

Bime-by I get up ver ver close,

I raise ma ax up high—
