His Mother's Way

Tomps 'ud allus haf to say
Somepin' 'bout 'his mother's way.'--
He lived hard-like--never jined
Any church of any kind.--
'It was Mother's way,' says he,
'To be good enough fer me
And her too,--and certinly
Lord has heerd her pray!'
Propped up on his dyin' bed,--
'Shore as Heaven's overhead,
I'm a-goin' there,' he said---
'It was Mother's way.'
