You talk about your money tights,
“Thars no sich things in Lee.

An pure salvation’s free.

With possums running loose.
We grind the cane, geod bye to gares,
Its taters, beer an juice.
Good timesin Tee when cotton goes,
“Fen cents and brimmin over,
‘The mortgage paid, the debtors woes
Are loosed—The mule’s in clover.
So tune the fiddle get the straws,
And dance till out of breath.
Good times in Lee you fet .because,
The bailitf’s starved 1o death. :
