Philosophy won't fall a tree, an' it never broke a jam. I ain't figured out no law for to run the universe; I take things just as they l, 1h? they letter, e they w orse. I.ivin' up here in the woods with the sky an' sun an' trees Won't make any fellah wise, make him any Socrates. Ik- they better, le they worse, I take things just as thev lie. An' I try to le content thet there's my philosophy. If a tree should crooked grow, grunts' 11 never straighten it. If an mx ain't hung just right, words' 11 never make it fit. If if wows when it should rain, if it rai.is when it should snow, I'nys or cussi's never changed any weather thet I know. We kin only hope for snow just to keep the roads alive, We kin only hotc for rain when we re ready for the drive. When the road is gittin' bare an' old mcther earth you see, Then a shovel beats a prayer thet there's my philosophy. Other folks has worldly goods, I'm as poor as Dago's monk; . But I git my thirty bones, get my grub and get a bunk. Other folks rid" grunt-machines; when I travel I must walk; Put you can't wish money in, no one gives you com for talk. I don't cuss because I'm broke, I don't holler at ihe rich. Vome is rich and some is poor; what's the matter which is which? I'm areg'lar mil'ionaire, I'm as rich as any be, If I'm only sa' is lied - thet there's niv phi osophy. Some folks long for fame and such, long to mingle with the great, Long to hold some fancy job while the public pays the freight. I don't long tobe 110 king, long to be no senator. When the mighty sit to dine, I ain't hangin' round the door. I ain't try in' much to teach, I ain't tryin' mch to learn; I try to do what's righ then I never give a dern. Be they better, be they wo-se, I take things just as they be, An' I try to be content thet there' t my philosophy. There ain't no iron railins there, your feet and grass between; In the woods a bird is singiu' spiliu' joy to beat the cars An' he ain't no hick canary cheepin' mournful through the bars. In the woods the sun is shinin', siftin softly through the trees; In the woods the sweetest perfume travels on the mornin breeze; In the woods the flowers are peepin from their little velvet hoods Oh, there ain't no spring whatever like the springtime in the woods!
