THE SOURDOUGH PROSPECTOR
There's a place on this earth's face
That make® one kind of a man
That all should know—he's a sour
dough ;
And beat him if you can.
He'll look you well and truly tell
If you’re made of the right kind of
When hits judgment's made be not
For he will know you right enough.
He’s lived here for many a year
And his wits are mighty keen.
Don't try to beguile, with a false
kind of smile.
For he'll know right away what you
But he can tell like a dart if you’re
sad at heart.
A better pal never was known:
He will give to you his very last sou
And take you right into his home.
If he should he short, like a game
old sport,
He’ll borrow from hits very beat
And if you come to town, and vour
poke is down.
He’s the very' first one to lend.
It is here you’ll find wealth of many
And the greatest one that I know
Is the northern man. of God’s best
The whole-hearted old Sourdough.
