There,
Tige, old feller, listen
now,
Don't growl or fight; keep still,
Jist go along; I'll git you
out,
Oh, honest Tige, I will,
He sez two dollars is
enough,
I'll raise it, Tige, you bet,
So jist be good, old boy,
an' wait --
I've never quit you yet.You know
that dollar that we earned
A-drivin' cows fer Joe?
I've got it yet an' half uv
it
Is your'n by rights, you know,
An' there's my rifle,
'member it?
I'll sell it, Tige, to-day,
It cost four dollars an'
it's worth
A dollar, anyway.
I know the
folks don't like you much,
But, Tige, the folks ain't me,
You've been my friend fer
three whole years,
The best friend there cud be,
Jist let 'em take you, Tige,
good bye
I'll git you out, I vow,
I never yet have shook you,
Tige,
I ain't a-go'n' to now. |
