I'm Bullfrog Ben, o' Tarpot City;
Ef ye'll hark to me, I'll sing ye a ditty,
About a knight both game an' bold,
Who straddles a hoss, an' gathers gold--
A cool complacent sort of a cuss,
W'ot makes ye "Come down" wi'out any fuss;
Purty's a peach, an' fly as a lark,
Allus on deck 'bout the time thet it's dark;
Rides up to ther hearse, an' raps at the door,
An' tells ye the same story, o'er and o'er.
It's gold thet he wants, an' jew'lry an' tickers,
An' ef ye object, ye'r chronics an' kickers--
Ye'r mean, an' stingy an' hev no compassion
Fer ther widders an' orphints of this great nation;
Then out pops his shooter, wi' orful precision,
An' at yer resistance he laffs wi' derision;
He tells ye ter rise, an' make yer donation,
Ter ther widders an' orphints wi'out hesitation;
An' ef ye refuse ter obey his command,
His iron sends ye kitin' to that far-away land
Whar life is but vapor transparent and thin,
While below reigns in triumph thet cool Yreka Jim !
