Yes, an' out in our back-yard
He he'ps 'Lindy rendur lard;
An', wite in the fire there, he
Roast' a pig-tail wunst fer me.--

An' ist nen th'ole tavurn-bell
Rung, down town, an' he says "Well!--
Hear dat! _Lan' o' Canaan_, Son,
Aint dat bell say '_Pig-tail done!_'

--'_Pig-tail done!
Go call Son!--
Tell dat
Chile dat
Pig-tail done!_'"
