2. PART THE 2.

Election past, and our Breckinridge wuz cadawshusly chawd up,
For Linkin run the appinted race jest like a yaller pup;
Then the man wat told us how to vote, come round and sed that we
Could only find our rites in the South Confed'racy.
I did n't understood it, but I histid up my hat
For Suthern rites, our system, and sech other things as that,
Attendid all the meetins held to help along the cause,
And viggerously damd old Abe and his Abolishn laws.
The war broke out, and me and Ike bled mity freely then;
I gave a thousand dollars toward a regiment of men,
And thought that if 't would keep our nigs from bein stole away,
The money we invested wuz well spent, and sure would pay.
