When insurance goes up and property down With never a job for a man in town . fo, When tho market is gono for tho farmor's rye, CS' His hops and barley, when tho town'goes dry. 4 i'.' - I'll toll you friends, 'tis a serious thing Somo of these fanatics to the town would bring,, 4 x Tho only thing loft when thoy stop tho cup ;ft Is to cut our suspenders and go straight up.
