Bates every city upon the say;

An’ Lady Morgan makin’ tay;
For ‘tis the capital of the finest nation,
Wid charmin’ pisintry on a fruitful sod,
Fightin’ like divils for conciliation
An’ hatin’ each other for the love of God.”

And the children they were brave,
But the dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard
He laid Jesse James in his grave.”

And click-clack went the printing-press.

Who had peeped while the angels undress.”
