I'm the only one she caught; It was Willie cracked her winders, It was Jimmy stole the vase Off the gate-post at her place, Freddy broke it all to flinders. It was Dick and Bud that fought, It was Sammy Jones that sassed her. There was nothin' I had done, I was actin' as I ought, But we all began to run— And the rest of 'em ran faster, I'm the only one she caught. I'm the only one she caught; Wisht I was a faster runner. Now she says she'll make of me An example, so that we Won't repeat the harm we done her,— Says it's time that we was taught. Guess they'll wish they'd seen me through it, Cause they know, though I can't run Quite as fast as p'raps I ought, I can lick 'em, one by one! I bet, next time, they'll see to it It ain't only me that's caught. |
