Some say, I am a poet,
Sometimes I think its true,
„But what I'm going to write .about
Is not :concerning'you.
I'll write about our little ,town,
Where we are bound to stay,
For we have been so long' around
Our hair is getting, grey.
The little stream goes roaring thro',
The water is so high
l'en sore if you would tumble int
You'd never more get dry.
Oh, it is such a muddy place
At this time ofthe year,
But Herd's will sell you rubber boots
If you will there appear.
We used to have a big hotel,
Where booze of course did. flow;
A chopping mill stands in its place,
• And Sterling makes it go.
Our Blacksmith is a busy man,
For 'there was always two;
Yes Watt and Bob and
Little Phil the horsesneild did shoe.
We also had a big saw mill,
That gave work to many men,
Sometimes six, sometimes eight,
And sometimes there were ten.
Jack Fry was always on the job,
A worker sure was he,
Packed shingles in the burning sun
For such ,a .wee small fee.
The skating rink is near the manse,
Gives pleasure night and} day,
Our hockey boys are civil - lads
If you let them have their way.
The curlers mostly farmers men,
Some •short and some are tall,
But they are all such sober chaps
They never get a fall.
We have some lovely maidens here,
Who do just as they please,
Of course they're in the height of
style,
With skirts up to their knees.
And you will see some long skirts too
Which in the wind do flop,
And when they get wound up so tight
They look just like a .top -
Our maidens spend so much hard cash
Upon their face and heady,
There's scarcely chink enough to buy
The families' weekly bread.'
And mother never has a say,
Only when she heats them sneeze,
It's girlie put some stockings on
You certainly will freeze.
We have. a Union Church right here,
And it has come to stay,
The Methodists have joined with us,
And some have broke away,
Our ministers do come and go
The reason we can't see,
Some go for a change of air,/
Some where they will have less care,
And some a larger fee;
13ut we have got a good man now,
That certainly will show lis how
To live and to agree.
