Us two wuz boys when we fell out, -- / Nigh to the age uv my youngest now; / Don't rec'lect what't wuz about, / Some small deeff'rence, I'll allow. / Lived next neighbors twenty years, / A-hatin' each other, me 'nd Jim, -- / He havin' _his_ opinyin uv _me_, / 'Nd _I_ havin' _my_ opinyin uv _him_.
Grew up together 'nd would n't speak, / Courted sisters, 'nd marr'd 'em, too; / Tended same meetin'-house oncet a week, / A-hatin' each other through 'nd through! / But when Abe Linkern asked the West / F'r soldiers, we answered, -- me 'nd Jim, -- / _He_ havin' _his_ opinyin uv _me_, / 'Nd _I_ havin' _my_ opinyin uv _him_.
