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.

 The vale of buried kings lies far below 

The vale of Jehosaphat through which flows the brook Kedron, lies between the City of Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives. Here Jehosaphat was buried, and here the pillar of Absalom is shown .The Jews continue to throng to Jerusalem from various parts of the world with the view of reposing in this valley,         When death shall close their weary aching eyes-

 and they expect that in this place all the nations of the earth shall assemble on the morning of the resurrection.
