    1 I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair,
    2 Borne, like a vapor, on the summer air;
    3 I see her tripping where the bright streams play,

    THE morn of life is past,
    And ev'ning comes at last;
    It brings me a dream of a once happy day,
    Of merry forms I've seen

    My wife is a most knowing woman,
    She always is finding me out,

    But instantly puts me to rout,

    1 The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home,
    2 'Tis summer, the darkies are gay,
    3 The corn top's ripe and the meadow's in the bloom
    4 While the birds make music all the day.

    2 Gone are my friends from the cotton fields away,
    3 Gone from the earth to a better land I know,
    4 I hear their gentle voices calling 'Old Black Joe.'

    Happy as de day am long.

    1 Way down upon de Swanee ribber,
    2 Far, far away,
    3 Dere's wha my heart is turning ebber,
    4 Dere's wha de old folks stay.

The Killing Place
 by Edgar Albert Guest

We're hiking along at a two-forty pace
We 're making life seem like a man-killing race,

And our cheeks pale and drawn every minute we dash,
And the goal that we 're after is merely more cash.
