They've
got the derndest set uv boys
At Scruggses, Bill an' Bert
Jest act as though they
dearly love
To do a feller dirt,
I never get to work, it
seems,
A-grubbin' with the hoe,
But what they get their
fishin' poles,
An' down the road they go.To see
them bobbins danglin' 'long
Jest nigh on sets me wild,
But still them Scruggses
never know
That they have got me riled,
I give 'em jest one look uv
scorn,
An' grip onto my hoe,
But in my heart I'd give the
world,
If I could quit and go.
Them
Scruggses know while Dad's
on hand,
That here I'm bound to be,
An' yet they come clean out
their way
To rub it in on me,
Some day when them two grins
at me,
At work an' out uv breath,
I'm either goin' fishin' er
I'll beat them kids to death. |
