Let's make a trap'; 'n' when the rail fences all hollered out, 'We're goin' to turn agin you! 'n' when a bit of swamp hollered louder than any, 'Let's suck down Billy Maydew suck down Billy Maydew! 'n' when a lot o' bamboo vines running over cedars, up with 'Hold him fast until you hear a bullet whizzing! 'n' I got to the Shenandoah and there wa'n't no bridge, 'n' the Shenandoah says 'I'd just as soon drown men as look at them! when all them things talked so, I knew just how the critturs feel in the woods; 'n' I ain't so crazy about hunting as I was and I say again this here air a most con-ve-ni-ent bridge."
