lonesome the must think that we
Are onely twoo children that we can see
will the time ever come that you will come
Home I am Afraid it never will do you

day and keep it holy what will it profit
A man if he gains the whole world and
loses his own soul or what can he give

will be steady and read his bible I want

ought to draged your girl ought of bed one
morning so that she might seen the sun rise
