MISSOURI'S DAWG SONG.
An Iowa friend has secured a copy
of the "Dawg" ditty. It was written
by F. L. Wright, and runs:
Down in the uzarks they'e hum
ming this song:
Whistle it, too, as they, pass it along,
You tan buy all of hiss heep or a
hawg,
But you can't get him to part wlt
his dawg.
He'd get you goin' around an' 'round
If you made one single kick at his
hound,
Hear the Missourians' musical ring
Come from the mountains, and hark
to him sing:
"Every time I come to town
The boys keep klckln' my dawg
aroun';
Makes no difference if he is a
houn',
They gotta quit klckin' my dawg
aroun'."
Give a Missourlan a gun an' a pup,
Then there's no trouble in gittin him
up,
if it's a dawg that delivers the goods,
That there Mlssourlan's soon in the
woods.
Squirrels are fallin' an' possums are
skeered,
Pabblts are hlken an' coons are
afeared.
Down through the bottoms he
ambles along,
All of the echoes repeating his song;
"Every time I come to town
The boys keep kickin' my dawg
aroun';
Makes no dlffeence if be is a
houn,'
They gotta quit kickin' my dog
aroun'."
Take a Missourlan, mortgage his
farm,
Threaten the man with a bushel of
harm,
Steal his potatoes and then steal his
wife,
Keep the poor sucker afraid of his
life.
You might take his cow or you
might take his hawg,
But nobody can ever git to his dawg,
The two of 'em stick to the very last
thing,
You hear the dog howl and Missourl
an sing.
"Every time I come to town
The boys keep klckln" my dawg
aroun';
Makes no difference If he Is a
houn,'
They gotta quit kickin' my dog
aroun'."
