It's Winney, he's one a them Injun Poleez,
Sometimes he's got kin' a braggin' way.
It's a bunch a fellas stanin' out by a trees,
An' Winney he's tole 'em one day:
"I neva' did cock it whiteman on my pistol, yet."
Notha' 'Gen.
It's issue day at Agency, an' all them fellas on hand,
Winney, jus' kin' a braggin', he's talkn' 'bout Splitlog Band:
Y' oughta' heard it, maybe pooty moosics,
Me, I play it secon' alto, jus' easy to blow.
Whitetree, he's got it, that b-i-g drum,
He's hit 'im, 'bout bust 'im, it's go bum, bum, bum.
We got it lit'l book, lots a tune, Nellie Gray,
An' Red an' White an' Blue,
An' tha' Gran'fatha Clocks, he's a dandy.
Bes' one of all of it tho', le's see, it's lumba' eight,
It's a p-o-o-t-y one, you bet'cha:
