HIRAM jlNKENS' WAY. 



"O, yes, I s'pose I'll git along — 



I'll worry thro" somehow," 

 Said Hiram Jinkens as he wiped 



The sweat from off his brow; 

 "But this here life's uncertain, an' 



It makes a fellow blue 

 To look ahead an' think of all 



He's likely to go thro'. 

 Yes, crops is in, but it's so wet 



They'll be mos' shore to rot; 

 Er if they don't, a drouth'Il come 



An' ketch 'em, like ez not; 

 I keep a purty sharp lookout 



Fer hard luck night an' day; 

 I ain't su'prised then when it comes 



It's never fur away. 

 I've alius been unfortunate. 



Fate's never used me fair; 

 When trouble wuz divided up 



I got too big a share. 

 It's easy 'nough fer folks to talk 



'Bout smilin' 'way their cares. 

 But them 'at tries it's mighty apt 



To git ketched unawares." 

 That there is Hiram Jinkens' way — 



Complainin' all the while; 

 Nobody ever saw him wear 



The shadder of a smile. 

 It's 'way too hot, er else too cold. 



Too dry er else too wet; 

 His frien's too frien'ly er too cool- 

 Things never's" been right yet. 

 Instead of takin' as they come 



Life's joys an' sorrows too. 

 He pours the sweetness from the cup 



An' drinks the bitter rue. 

 I 'low that when he quits this world 



Fer yonder mansions fair, 

 Ef he can't find cause fer complaint 



He'll not be happy there.
