Yep, Egyp's dry; 'z a gin'ral rule / They ain't much doin' in likker; / Saloons is skurce 'z a breedin' mule, / An' shy 'z a nestin' flicker. / But fokes kin git it-"bootleg stuff"- / An' hev a reel good souse, / Tho' most o' them that does it 's tough, / An' allers startin' rows.
Onct down ter Sims', so people tell, / A bunch o' pickled runts / Raised sev'ral kinds o' p'tic'lar cain / An' pulled some rowdy stunts. / Now 'Mersion 's pop'lar thar ter Sims', / Some 'd ruther hev 't than eatin's; / More 'n half the fokes sings Baptis' hymns / An' goes ter all the meetin's.
