DARS a powful rassle twix de Good en de Bad,
En de Bads got de all-under holt;
En wen de wuss come, she come ion-clad,
En you hatter hole yo bref for de jolt.
But des todos de las Good gits de knee-lock,
En dey draps ter de grounker flop!
Good had de inturn, en he stan like a rock,
En he bleedzd for ter be on top.
De dry wedder breaks wid a big thunder-clap,
For dey aint no drout wat kin las,
But de seasons wat whoops up de cotton crop,
Likewise dey freshens up de grass.
De rain fall so saf in de long dark night,
Twel you hatter hole yo han for a sign,
But de drizzle wat sets de tater-slips right
Is de makin or de May-pop vine.
In de mellerest groun de clay rootll ketch
En hole ter de tongue or de plow,
En a pine-pole gate at de gyardin-patch
Neverll keep out de ole brindle cow.
One en all on us knows whos a pullin at do bits
Like de lead-mule dat gides by de rein,
En yit, somehow or nudder, de bestest un us gits
Mighty sick or de tuggin at de chain.
Hump yosef ter de load en fergit de distress,
En dem wat stans by ter scoff,
For de harder de pullin, de longer de res,
En de bigger de feed in de troff.
