Which it is not my style	A
To produce needless pain	B
By statements that rile	A
Or that go 'gin the grain	B
But here's Captain Jack still a livin' and Nye has no skelp on his	C
brain	B
	-
On that Caucasian head	D
There is no crown of hair	E
It has gone it has fled	D
And Echo sez Where	E
And I asks Is this Nation a White Man's and is generally things	F
on the square	E
	-
She was known in the camp	G
As Nye's other squaw	H
And folks of that stamp	G
Hez no rights in the law	I
But is treacherous sinful and slimy as Nye might hev well known	J
before	K
	-
But she said that she knew	L
Where the Injins was hid	M
And the statement was true	L
For it seemed that she did	M
Since she led William where he was covered by seventeen Modocs and	N
slid	M
	-
Then they reached for his hair	E
But Nye sez By the law	I
Of nations forbear	E
I surrenders no more	E
And I looks to be treated you hear me as a pris'ner a pris'ner	E
of war	E
	-
But Captain Jack rose	O
And he sez It's too thin	P
Such statements as those	O
It's too late to begin	P
There's a MODOC INDICTMENT agin you O Paleface and you're goin' in	P
	-
You stole Schonchin's squaw	H
In the year sixty two	L
It was in sixty four	E
That Long Jack you went through	L
And you burned Nasty Jim's rancheria and his wives and his papooses	O
too	L
	-
This gun in my hand	Q
Was sold me by you	L
'Gainst the law of the land	Q
And I grieves it is true	L
And he buried his face in his blanket and wept as he hid it from view	L
	-
But you're tried and condemned	R
And skelping's your doom	S
And he paused and he hemmed	R
But why this resume	S
He was skelped 'gainst the custom of nations and cut off like a rose	O
in its bloom	S
	-
So I asks without guile	A
And I trusts not in vain	B
If this is the style	A
That is going to obtain	B
If here's Captain Jack still a livin' and Nye with no skelp on his	O
brain	B
