when abes four years are over

Dearest most, do you remember when we last did meet? How we went to
Willard's Barroom and there used to treat? Oh, how proud you show before me your
back's screen of hue
When you vowed to me and shawty, ever to be true. Drinking deep and often,
tods and slings, how vain. Guessing when abe's four years are over,
guessing that we rob again. If amid the din of contracts feebly you fall,
Then you shoddy friends would say it served you right, that's all. Who then would help you on your legs
to play your game again? And the many artful dodges ever Drinking deep and often,tods and slings, how vain. Guessing when abe's four years are over,
Guessing that we'll rob again. But our Schneiders call you Moses Settlers cheered your way
While our nation's sons are fighting We can only pray
Nobly strikes for pelt and plunder Let our nation see
How we're robbing Uncle Samuel Viva the shoddyocracy Drinking deep and often tods and slings, how vain Guessing when abe's four years are over Guessing that we'll rob again
