There Aint no God

Bernard Gilbert

There aint no God! Coz if there were — My boy what's under foreign sod Would be alive, and here:

Instead of which young William Porter What never listed when he orter — Has his farm; And braunges yonder safe away from harm.

Poor lad!— he went — I can n't forgit that night — While Porter laughed him outer sight; Now — he is spent:

Porter's all right. What does he care? He's thinking of another farm, Instead of laying in some ditch

He's rich! And folk'll gallop at his nod.
