4. And then the feathers on his hat,
They look'd so very fine, ah!
I wanted peskily to get,
To give to my Jemina.

5. And there I see a swamping gun,
Large as a log of maple,
Upon a mighty little cart,
A load for father's cattle.

6. And ev'ry time they fired it off,
It took a horn of powder,
It made a noise like father's gun,
Only a nation louder.

7. And there I see a little keg,
Its head all made of leather,
They knock'd up on't with little sticks,
To call the folks together.
