Hen-Roost Man, The

Ruth McEnery Stuart 1849 ( Marksville, Avoyelles Parish) – 1917 ( New York City)

De Hen-roost Man he'll preach about Paul,
An' James an' John, an' Herod, an' all,
But nuver a word about Peter, oh, no!
He's afeard he'll hear dat rooster crow.
An' he ain't by 'isself in dat, in dat,
An' he ain't by 'isself in dat.
