THE VOLUNTEEE. .. 'I r #| WOULD 1 were a Volunteer, ■ • 'Twould just my humor suit; To catch old Paora X would try, And bag hls horse for loot, ra take good aim from some high bank, Screened by the fem and toot And when the fight was dpne—he sutgl I’d get my share of loot. . I’d watch the niggers coming on. And (like a cat, so mute) Spring like a tiger ou my prey, And search his clothes tor loot. Dressed in my fine accoutrements, As 1 went forth to shoot, I’d keep a bright look-out ahead—" Especially for loot. With eager eye I’d quickly scan Each likely-looking brute. And ride a first-rate mare—of course . Got in the way of loot, O i gaily lives the Volunteer— Tor him the glorious fruit Of female smiles and kisses sweet— Besides his share of loot, • Oners—Tutu.
