    (continued from previous page)
    And in the back woods o'America,
    Where their weary feet they set,
    Stumpy was there the first they met,
    And he haunts their children yet.
    Young man 'tis hard ta strive weo' sin,
    But the greatest sin o'a,
    Is whare the greed for gain sets in
    And drives God's grace awa.'
