LOTTA
MA - AND SHIF TLESS PA
Lotta, Ma, and shif tless Pa
All went to Rabbit Creek.
They n'er came back to Mill Street Shaek
So Lola Mon tez grew siak.
While in such spell she left thee dell,
('Tis confidential truth)
And rode all night with moon for 11ght
On a black mare known as "Ru th.
Lotta Crabtree
She said to Ma, and shif tless Pa:
*Please bring my pupil back!"
Ma grabbed a stick at Rabbit Creek
And Lola mgade hot track.
Then Lotta sang to the miners' gang
While Ma held apron tight,
The miners' gold into it rolled!
She picked up all in sight!
At last one day Ma hooked the bay
To the buckboard 'tween each thill.
Whence Lotta and Ma left shiftless Pa
And drove on down the hill.
They took the road to the Mother Lode,
And far off Shasta to wn-
Where "Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines"
Brought more gold falling down.
