"The Abolition Show"

They had grim border
 ruffians I'll bring to 
  your mind
And they’ve plenty
 more left of the
  very same kind
They drank from a flask
And played cards on the 
  way
For the schools were out
And the children lookd on
 on this seventeenday
They had pop guns and tin
 pans and all kinds of toys
And a very fine party
 All made up of boys
They had jemmun of color
 and ladies the same
And jokers and fools
 of all ages and [?names]
