| And see its eyes so fiercely glare | D |

| But he oft longs for a cut ham | I |
| Sweet as from bear near to Putnam | J |
| For he waged his fiercest war | K |
| In big swamp of Dorchester | E |

| Now in the winter Dan he rides | L |
| Warm 'mong his bear and coon skin hides | L |
| He lets the younger men now snare | D |
| The beaver muskrat and ottar | D |
