or check the link in the wild and you're scared as a child and death looks you bang in the eye

and you're sore as a boil it's according to Hoyle to cock your revolver and die

But the coat of the man says fight all you can and self-dis and

self-disoulution is barred.

In hunger and woe, it's easy to blow.

It's the hell served for breakfast that's hard.

You're sick of the game, well now that's a shame. You're young

and you're brave and you're bright. You've had a raw deal I know but don't

squeal buck up do your damnedest and fight. It's the plugging away that will win you the day, so don't be a piker old

pard. Just draw on your grit, it's so easy to quit. It's the keeping your chin up that's hard.

It's easy to cry that you're beaten and die. It's easy to

crawfish and crawl, but to fight and fight on when hopes out of sight, why that's

the best game of them all. And though you come out of each grueling bout all broken and beaten and scarred, just have one more try, it's dead easy to die, it's the keeping on living that's hard.
