I'm go'n'
to take an' run away,
Yes, sir, I'm go'n' to skip,
They ain't no law to make me
stay
Fer that there man to whip,
I'll run away to war an' get
Killed fightin' if I can,
An' when he sees me dead
I'll bet
He'll be a sorry man.He had no right
to lick me so,
Fer doin' what I did,
I'll bet he smoked pipes
years ago,
When he was just a kid.
Perhaps I'll get him put in
jail,
That there 'ud cook his goose,
I'd make him beg an' weep
an' wail,
Before I'd turn him loose.
If I don't
go to war an' die,
I'll rise to fame and then
He'll feel ashamed to think
how I
Wus licked when I wus ten,
I'm go'n' to take an' run
away,
I am -- jist wait an' see,
I don't care what he'll have
to say
His home's no place fer me. |
