I’ll Never Use Tobacco
"I'LL never use tobacco, no,
It is a filthy weed;
I'll never put it in my mouth,"
Said little Robert Reid.
"Why, there was idle Jerry Jones,
As dirty as a pig,
Who smoked when only ten years old,
And thought it made him big.
"He'd puff along the open street
As if he had no shame;
He'd sit beside the tavern-door,
And there he'd do the same.
"He spent his time and money too,
And made his mother sad;
She feared a worthless man would come
From such a worthless lad.
"0 no, I'll never smoke or chew,
'Tis very wrong, indeed;
It hurts the health, it makes bad breath,”
Said little Robert Reid.
