Sence I tuk holt o' Gibbses' Churn / And be'n a-handlin' the concern, / I've travelled round the grand old State / Of Indiany, lots, o' late -- !
I've canvassed Crawferdsville and sweat / Around the town o' Layfayette; / I've saw a many a County-seat / I ust to think was hard to beat: / At constant dreenage and expense / I've worked Greencastle and Vincennes -- / Drapped out o' Putnam into Clay, / Owen, and on down thataway / Plum into Knox, on the back-track / Fer home ag'in -- and glad I'm back -- !
