A COUNTRY DANCE By Minnie Nelson iI LAB Hemlock Witherspoon of Sasparilla Junction Was asked to play his fiddle at a country dancing function. Now, Si sure was some fiddler, his fame went far and wide, And at that dancing party was the entire country side. There was Rufus and Mirandy and Bill and I Icnry Heck, There was Jim and Lizzy Corntassle and Cyrus Reuben Peck. There was old John Henry Slicker and all his fourteen kids, Who were noted for their dancing of fancy reels and jigs. There was William Rastus Morgan and his wife Clorinda Sue, There was Dave and Sammy Scuddcr and Ezra Perkins, too, There was old man Dennis Hogan, some dancer I surmise. Who danced an Irish jig and thereby nearly won the prize. There were many other folks, who danced most all that night, For not a soul was hound for home until the morning light. They danced the old quadrille and circle two-step, too, And jigs and reels and cake walks anil everything they knew. The climax came when Ezra got up to dance some more. And did a Yankee breakdown that nearly broke the floor; The rafters shook and rattled, the kids all sang in rhyme, And Silas with his fiddle had a hard job keeping time. When Ezra got through dancing and wiped his sweating face. There was much applauding, and much cheering from each one in the place. The good time soon was over, but with folks of every size Unanimously declaring that Ezra’d won the prize. And when the faint gray light of morn proclaimed another day, And rigs of every kind and shape were on their homeward way, Everyone was tired, but there was joy in every glance For they had all enjoyed themselves at a good old country dance.
