Shears and Sawbuck kept a store
Such never was before.
City folks they wouldn't sell.
Couldn't let 'em have a smell.
Fetched their money but by jing,
Couldn't buy a blessed thing.
Couldn't meet e'm face to face
And then sell 'em with good grace.
Country trade was what they sought.
Folks who'd pay for what they bought
'Fore they saw it hide or tail.
They sent catalogues by mail
Out to every blessed one
Gittin' mail at Possum Run.
We sat up at night and read
When we'd orter been in bed.
Book was 'bout as big as sin
Had a lot of pictures in,
And a list of merchandise.
Every kind and size
Giv'in prices that they swore
Knocked out every country store,
Looned so straight and seemed so true
1 bit at it and Jim did too.
Jim's my neighbor 'cross the way,
Best man ever worked in hay,
Just let him top off a stack.
Sheds rain like a turtle's back,
Pleasure jest to see him work,
Never new of Jim to shirk;
Swings a scythe like it was play,
Love to watch him in the way,
Well, we like a pair of fools
Sent off and got some hiyin' tools.
Jm trot harness and a plow,
I, a range - 1 see it uuw;
Drat the thing, it was so light
Used it for a torch at night!
Throw'd the darr. thing in the yard,
Use it now for renderin" lard.
'Fore Jim used the olow an hour
Found the blame thing wouldn't scour;
Tneid his harness broke a tug,
Sought for solace in his jug.
In the cooler all that night
Jim reflected on his plight:
In the morning Richard Stout
Hardware merchant, balled him out.
Jim said after that he'd stick,
Close as bark to good ol' Dick.
Since he left the Possum jail
Says he won't buy goods by mail,
Says Dick cheaper, anyhow
Might have saved some on the plow,
Onthe other goods some more,
At his old friend's hardware store.
Jim says. "We can't sell no truck
To sich folks as Shears Sawbuck
They'll take all our cash away,
But won't buy our corn or hay."
That seemed pretty strange to me.
' So I told ol' Jim I'd see
So I wrote to them that night
! Jist to see if Jim was right.
As't 'em "What they'd pay for oats?
Could they use some likely shoats?
Had about four tons of hay
1 could ship 'em right away.
Could I furnish Mr. Shears
With his family roastin ears?
Also would nr.v frienk Sawbuck
Buy some of my garden truck?",
Answer came one summer day.
Said they couldn't use our hay,
Couldn't use our oats or shoats,
wiuu v iiku uui umy goats.
When they needed truck tu eat
Bought it down on Watar atrial:
Sorry, but they must refuse
Anything but cash to use.
I sat down an' wrote 'em then;
"Hate to trouble you again,
But I want to thank you sirs.
For your bunch of cockle burrs.
If you love your feller man.
Do him, good, sirs, whan you can
While our merchants sweetly sleep
Shears and Sawbuck shear your sheep.
