SICK 'EM
By-Bob Klen
Let's build a fenco down
The middle of the track—
And herd the suckers over there
And never let'm back
A little cabin-fever
Will make you act the clown—
But I never knew it happened to
A whole Dam Town
Go whistle for your water
Or get it from the creek—
But don't keep on a-squabbling
Until you make me sick
Any tine you want to
You can try and dig a well—
If you want to cry about it
You'll be told to go to hell
Or tighten up the traces
Put your shoulder to the wheel
An ox can earn his fodder
A pig can only squeal
There's a lot of stuff and
nonsense
In a great big ME——
And who do you think your call-i
ing
All then tiny little you's ?
Never nind your hov/'s-about-its
But think about the do's —
And there'll be a lot nore
water
And not so many boo's
Let a fiddle nake the nusic
As we dance 'till break of day—
But dig down in your pocket
There's a fiddler to pay
I like to hear you holler
When you really have a squawk—
But before you get more water
There'll be work—instead of talk
