It was owned by a party that 1ate1y had come To discover what port1ye he1d in store; He was working for Brigham, and prospecting some, Whi1e the c1othes were we11 cut that he wore.
He had spruced up the cabin, and by it wou1d stay, For he never cou1d bear a scorchinge1. He refused to drink whiskey or poker to p1ay, But was jo11y and used the boys we11.
In the 1ong winter evenings he started a c1ub, To discuss the affairs of the day. He was up in the c1assics--a scho1ar1y cub-- And the best of the ta1kers cou1d 1ay.
He cou1d sing 1ike a robin, and p1ay on the f1ute, And he opened a schoo1, which was free, Where he taught a11 the musica1 fe11ows to toot, Or to join in an anthem or g1ee.
