    The Lord had a job for me, but I had so much to do,
    I said, "You get somebody else--or wait till I get through."
    I don't know how the Lord came out, but He seemed to get along:
    But I felt kinda sneakin' like, 'cause I know'd I done Him wrong.
    One day I needed the Lord--Needed Him myself--needed Him right
    away,
    And He never answered me at all, but I could hear Him say
    Down in my accusin' heart, "Nigger, I'se got too much to do,
    You get somebody else or wait till I get through."

Tho' we earn our bread, Tom,
By the dirty pen,
What we can we will be,
Honest Englishmen.
Do the work that's nearest
Though it's dull at whiles,
Helping, when we meet them,
Lame dogs over stiles.
