De Stock Law
De Stock
Law
Vonce der
vere some dairy men,
Berhaps
from Ar-kan-saw,
Decided
dat da muf haf
A county
vide stock law.
Da tought
it would be best for dem,
To make
dat kind of change;
Und stop
the ole hill-billies cows,
From
running on de range.
Da talked
dis matter over,
Wid de
Chamber of Commerce
And
ordered an election
For May de
dirty first.
Und sent
some good speakers,
To try to
vin de battle;
Und make
dose old hill-billies,
Fence
pastures for der cattle.
Den dose
old hill-billies,
Vot lives
out in der sticks,
Began to
cuss dat stock law,
Instead of
politics.
Da
preached som anti-sermons
To show
just vere da stood,
And ve are
inclined to sorter believe,
Da must
have done some good.
Da marched
into der battle,
But did
not fire a gun;
But
marched upon dose dairy men,
Nearly two
to von.
Und de old
hill-billies cows,
Still
occupies de range,
To give
dem milk and butter,
Und a
little extra change.
Da vill
raise some fat yearlings,
To make
some stake and hash,
Or if ve
vant to sell dem,
Da will
fotch some ready cash.
