| THE WAYS of the world are a-coming—up Cyarr! | |
| Biled shirts and neckties, | |
| Powder-pots and veils, | |
| Pizen fotched-on liquor, | |
| Doctor-pills, and ails— | 5 |
| Hit’s a sight, all the brash that’s a-coming—up Cyarr! | |
| |
| The ways of the mountains are passing—up Cyarr! | |
| Moonshine stills and manhood, | |
| Gear to weave and spin, | |
| Good old Reg’lar Baptists | 10 |
| Preaching hell for sin. | |
| Far’well to the old ways a-passing—up Cyarr! | |
| |
| The ways of the world will be holding—up Cyarr! | |
| Sorry ways, the old ways, | |
| They’ve a call to go. | 15 |
| Only, when you’re grave-bound, | |
| Changing’s allus slow. | |
Old folks will bide by the old ways—up Cyarr.
