Jack rabbit was homeless and lost in the woods.
One day when he was wandering around with no place to go
he met a woodchuck named Woody.

Jack.
"Where ya' goin' ?"

Woody.
"Oh, I ain't knowin'."

Jack.
"Why do ya' roam?"

Woody.
"Ain't got no home."

Jack.
"Oh, I see.
Why don't cha' come n roam wit me."

Woody.
"Okay, I'll roam wit you.
Ain't got nothin' better ta' do."

While strolling along telling each other lies,
Who did they meet to their surprise.

Jack.
"Hey, ain't you Portise the tortoise?"

Portise.
"Well I sure ain't Mertle the turtle."

Woody.
"Where ya' goin'?"

Portise.
"Oh, I ain't knowin'."

Jack.
"Jes like us it's plain ta' see.
Ya' might as well hang wit Woody n me."

They wandered all day,
and roamed all night...finally Jack said...

"Y'all dis ain't right. Less build us a house,
if it takes all day. Den we'll have a place ta' stay."

They built a shack that was almost done,
except for a board they needed just one.

woody.
"Remember dat board we passed a mile back?"

Portise.
"Yeah, why don't ya' go git dat board, Jack?"

Jack.
"Oh, I would go git it, without question or pause.
But better yet, less draw straws."

Woody.
"It's on you, Portise,
'cause you drew the shortiss."

Portise.
"Okay, Okay. I wanna' say no.
But fair and square I gotta' go."

Woody and Jack waited.
Woody and Jack waited.
Woody and Jack waited.

"WOW! " said Jack, "is he comin' back?"

Woody and Jack waited
Woody and Jack waited.
Woody and Jack waited.

"Rats!" said Woody. He takin' too long.
I guess sendin' slow poke, we done wrong."

Portise steady dragging, but he wasn't far away.
Turned and looked over his shoulder, and they heard him say.

"If you keep complaining, 'bout I'm too slow.
I'll turn and come back.....

AND I WON"T GO."
