The Thrifty Slave

________________________________________________
Title:     The Thrifty Slave
Author: Thomas W. Talley [More Titles by Talley]

Jes wuk all day,
Den go huntin' in de wood.
Ef you cain't ketch nothin',
Den you hain't no good.
Don't look at Mosser's chickens,
Caze dey're roostin' high.
Big pig, liddle pig, root hog or die!






[The end]
