JOG ON, JEHOSAPHAT

  JOG ON, JEHOSAPHAT 

( By WH Stark, President Luther & Moore Lumber Co., Orange Tex)

Road gets rougher every mile;(cluck) 
Jog on, Jehosaphat, an show some style. 
Mule's gone lame, an' the hens won't lay;
Corn's way down an' wheat don't pay; 
Hogs no better, steers too cheap; 
Cows quit milking,meat won't keep; 
Oats all heated, spuds all froze; 
Fruit crop's busted, wind still blows; 
Sheep seem puny, an' I'll be durned 
Rye field's flooded an' the haystack's burned
Looks some gloomy, I'll admit-(cluck)
 Jog on, Jehosaphat we ain't down yit. 

Coal's in high an' crops in low; 

Rail rates doubled, got no show; 

Money's tighter, morals loose;

Bound to git us-what's the use; 

Sun's not shinin' as it should;

Moon ain't lightin' like it could;

Air seems heavy, water punk; 

Tests yer mettle; shows yer spunk; 

No use stoppin' to debate- (cluck) 

Jog on, Jehosaphat, it's getting late.

Wheels all wobble; axle's bent; 

Dashboard's broken, top all rent; 

One shaft splintered, t'other sags;

Seat's all busted busted, end-gate drags;

 May hang t'gether- b'lieve it will; 

Careful drivin' ll make it still; 

Trot-gosh ding ye-that's the stuff, 

Old trap's movin' right good speed- 

(Cluck) Jog on, Jehosaphat, You're some old steed. 

Road's smothed out 'til it don't seem true- (cluck) 

Jog on, Jehosaphat, you pulled us through.
