"You Can't Do Wrong and Get Away Witii It" "I said 1 would have my Ting, And do what a young man may.

And 1 didn't believe a thins That the parsons hnd to, say. I didn't believe in a Ood That gives us blood like fire. Then flings us into hell because We answer the call of desire. "And I said: Religion Is rot And the laws of tho world are nil. For the baj man Is he who is caught And cannot toot his LTJ.

If it rings on the plate of the church; And money can neatly erase Each sign of a sinful smirch." For I saw men everywhere. Hotfooting the road of vice. And women and preachers smiled on them As long aa they paid the price.

So I had my Joy of life: I went the pace of the town; And then I took me a wife, And started to settle down. I had golj enough and to spare. For all of the simple Joys That belong with a house and home And a brood of girls and boys. I married a girl with health And virtue and spotless fame, gave In exchange my wealth And a proud old family name. And I gave her the love of a heart Grown sated and sick of sin! My deal with the devil was all cashed up And the last bill handed in.

She waa going to bring me a child. And when In labor she cried. With love and fear I was wild And now I wish she had died. For the son she bore was blind And crippled and weak and sore! And his mother was left a wreck. It was so she settled my score, I snjd I must have my fling And they knew the path 1 would go, Yet no one told me a thing Of what I needed to kdow.
