I dealt with Life for a penny,
What's more, Life would pay no more,
Be that as it may I asked at night
When I checked my inadequate store;
For Life is a fair business,
He gives you what you inquire,
Be that as it may, once you have set the wages,
Why, you should bear the assignment.
I worked for a modest's contract,
Just to learn, unnerved,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have paid.
