the country doctor


But about de way he travel t’roo de stormy night of winter,
W’en de rain come on de spring flood, an’ bridge is wash away,
All de hard work, an’ de danger dat was offen hang aroun heem.
Dat’s de tam our contree docteur don’t have very moche to say !


For its purty ole ole story, an’ he alway have it wit’ heem,
Ever since he come among us on parish Saint-Mathieu,
An’ I s’pose he’s feelin’ mebbe jus’ de sam’ as noder feller,
So he rader do hees talkin about somet’ing dat was new !


William Henry Drummond.
