And I said to ma Hollis is
Sleeping should I wake him
And she said you mind you
And let Hollis mind his self
So I sat with my milk and
Then she said where's John
And I said he oughta been
Up with pa and she sent
Me out to the yard to get
John. It was cold out in the
Yard but it was September
Still. My breath was smoke.
Then I called out for John,
But he never come out or
Else he wasn't there. So I
Run to the barn and there
Was a shirt white and all
Soaked in the hay and it
Was John's. But he wasn't
There and I remembered
My milk cold at the table.
