Papa's Favorite Poem

If you strike a thorn or a rose,
Keep a goin'

If it hails or if it snows,
Keep a goin'

When the weather kills your crop,
Keep a goin'

Taint' no use to sit an whine,
If the fish ain't on your line,
Bait your hook and keep a tryn'
Keep a goin'

Suppose you're out of every dime,
Gettin' broke ain't any crime,
Tell the world you're feelin' prime,
keep a goin'

See the wild bird on the wing,
Hear the bells that sweetly ring,
When you feel like sighn', sing!
Keep a goin'
