Evryboddy iz in the habit ov bragging on Job,
and Job did hav konsiderable bile pashunce, that's
a fac, but did he ever keep a distrik skule for 8 dollars
a month, and borde 'round? Did he ever reap
lodged oats down hill in a hot da, and hav all hiz
gallus buttons bust oph at once? Did he ever hav
the jumpin teethake, and be made tu tend baby
while hiz wife was over tu Perkinses tu a teasquall?
Did he ever git up in the morning awful dri and
turf it 3 miles befoar brekfast tu git a drink, and
find that the man kep a tempranse hous? Did he
ever undertaik tu milk a kicking hefer with a bushy
tail, in fli time, out in the lot? Did he ever sot
down onto a litter ov kittens in the old rockin cheer,
with hiz summer pantyloons on without saing “damnashun!”
If he cud du all theze things, and praze
the Lord at the same time, all i hav got tu sa, iz,
Bully for Job!
