Chapter 10
Her folks in his'n by Benjamin King Read for LibriVox.org by Jim Nienaber He married her cuz she had money and some property left from her husband's income But both of the families was awfully stirred and said the worst things that the town ever heard And her folks in his'n or his'n and her'n never spoke to each other from what I can learn
His folks begun it and just said that she was the worst acting thing they ever did see And ought to be ashamed for being so bold because her husband he hadn't had time to get cold And her folks in his'n or his'n and her'n never spoke to each other from what I can learn Her folks they all set up that he was no good and if it wasn't for her well He'd have to saw wood then Oliver kin every blasted relation said she'd lowered herself in their estimation
So her folks in his'n or his'n and her'n never spoke to each other from what I can learn The sisters they told this is tween you and I and they thought that she wanted her husband to die and They whispered around don't you lisp a word the awfulest things that a soul ever heard So her folks in his'n or his'n and her'n never spoke to each other from what I can learn They said that a traveling man or a drummer who stopped at the hotel a long time last summer
That he no it wasn't that now. Let me see that she or something like that seems to me Well her folks in his'n or his'n and her'n never spoke to each other from what I can learn I hear the families keep up the old fight a roast in each other from morning till night But the young married couple they moved to the city or gossip don't go But I think it's a pity that her folks in his'n and his'n and her'n never speak to each other from what I can learn
