This Muskogee Jale i will tell you aBout, The Boys they Brake in but seldom Brake out; The Grub it is chicken nor Quale, But corn bread and bacon in Muskogee Jale. Muskogee Jale is a very nice Place The graybacks will stand and look in your face, And all they want is a grate big Bite But the Bed Bug comes in and he's got to fight. When breakfast comes round one douby you One thin peace of meet fryed as hard as can Bee, One cup of coffey and no color can you see; If you say a word about it they say "you can't blame me." When dinner comes round it's cold corn bread Hard as a rock and as heavy as Led; No coffey at all, and the Beef is all Tale, And we are about to starve out in Muskogee Jale. And for our supper we have nothing at all, But the poor hungry boys lean on the hard wall, And they are so anxious for morning to see To get their douby and fall on their knees.

Now, my kind friends, keep away from this Place, For this is what makes us look thin in the Face; One Bone for three men is a sight to see, And soop is so thin that no grees you can see.
