A twisted auto on a dead man’s chest--
Ye ho, and a bottle of rum!
Drink and the devil had done their best--
Ye ho! and a bottle of rum!
The roadhouse bar and the “lady friend”--
Ye ho! and a bottle of rum!
And at eighty miles they took the bend--
Ye ho! and a bottle of rum!
A swerve that mocked their drunken wills,
A crash and a shriek through the darkness thrills;
“Joy riding” is the pace that kills--
Ye ho! and a bottle of rum!
--New York _World_.
