M2333 THE 1909 NORTHER Mem A FEW LINES BY WILLIAM HAWLEY SMITH WITH Apologies to the Shade of Robert Burns. John W., my jo, John, When we were first acquent, Your black hair curled a' o,er your heid, Your mustache was na, kent! Now your gray locks are straight, John, Your mustache like the snow, But blessings on your whitenin' pow, John W., my jo! John W., my jo, John, We clamb the hill togither, An, many a canty day, John, Weive had wi' ane anither. An' still Weill clamber up, John, Wi' hand in hand we'll go, Gude luck, we'll some day win the top, john W., my jo! John W., my jo. John, When we the hill ha, won, We'll stop an' look about a bit, Our faces to the sun! An, so, mayhap, we'll rest a while, Before we further go, Then, on we'll gang, still higher yet, John W., my jo! John W., my io, John, No hill-top ends our way, Ayont the stars our journey runs, Forever, an' for aye! An, a' mankind mount wi' us, John, Hands gripped wi' ours they go, Thank God for Comrades on the road, ,Iohn W., my jo! ,lohn W., my jo, John. You've hit your sixty-five. You stan' there, ivery inch a mon, An' ivery inch alive! We love you, we, the friends you've made, We,re a' in that lang row. An' ilka prays. wi' a', God hless John W., our jo! Peoria, Ill., April 20, 1909. I9
