Rh An' the end of it's sittin' and thinkin',

An' dreamin' Hell-fires to see;

So be warned by my lot (which I know you will not),

An' learn about women from me!

What did the Colonel's Lady think?

Nobody never knew.

Somebody asked the Sergeant's wife,

An' she told 'em true!

When you get to a man in the case,

They're like as a row of pins—

For the Colonel's Lady an' Judy O'Grady

Are sisters under their skins!
