The hoss he is a splendud beast	A
He is man's friend as heaven desined	A
And search the world from west to east	A
No honester you'll ever find	A
	-
Some calls the hoss 'a pore dumb brute '	-
And yit like Him who died fer you	B
I say as I theyr charge refute	A
'Fergive they know not what they do '	-
	-
No wiser animal makes tracks	C
Upon these earthly shores and hence	D
Arose the axium true as facts	E
Extoled by all as 'Good hoss sense '	-
	-
The hoss is strong and knows his stren'th	F
You hitch him up a time er two	B
And lash him and he'll go his len'th	F
And kick the dashboard out fer you	B
	-
But treat him allus good and kind	A
And never strike him with a stick	G
Ner aggervate him and you'll find	A
He'll never do a hostile trick	G
	-
A hoss whose master tends him right	A
And worters him with daily care	H
Will do your biddin' with delight	A
And act as docile as YOU air	H
	-
He'll paw and prance to hear your praise	I
Because he's learnt to love you well	J
And though you can't tell what he says	K
He'll nicker all he wants to tell	J
	-
He knows you when you slam the gate	A
At early dawn upon your way	L
Unto the barn and snorts elate	A
To git his corn er oats er hay	L
	-
He knows you as the orphant knows	M
The folks that loves her like theyr own	N
And raises her and finds her clothes	O
And schools her tel a womern grown	N
	-
I claim no hoss will harm a man	P
Ner kick ner run away cavort	A
Stump suck er balk er 'catamaran '	-
Ef you'll jest treat him as you ort	A
	-
But when I see the beast abused	A
And clubbed around as I've saw some	Q
I want to see his owner noosed	A
And jest yanked up like Absolum	Q
	-
Of course they's differunce in stock	R
A hoss that has a little yeer	H
And slender build and shaller hock	R
Can beat his shadder mighty near	H
	-
Whilse one that's thick in neck and chist	A
And big in leg and full in flank	S
That tries to race I still insist	A
He'll have to take the second rank	S
	-
And I have jest laid back and laughed	A
And rolled and wallered in the grass	T
At fairs to see some heavy draft	A
Lead out at FIRST yit come in LAST	A
	-
Each hoss has his appinted place	U
The heavy hoss should plow the soil	V
The blooded racer he must race	U
And win big wages fer his toil	V
	-
I never bet ner never wrought	A
Upon my feller man to bet	A
And yit at times I've often thought	A
Of my convictions with regret	A
	-
I bless the hoss from hoof to head	A
From head to hoof and tale to mane	W
I bless the hoss as I have said	A
From head to hoof and back again	X
	-
I love my God the first of all	Y
Then Him that perished on the cross	Z
And next my wife and then I fall	Y
Down on my knees and love the hoss	A2
