CONFESSIONS OF A LUNKHEAD

"I'm a lunkhead, an' I know it; 'tain't no use to squirm an' talk,
I'm a gump an' I'm a lunkhead, I'm a lummux, I'm a gawk.
An' I make this interduction so thet all you folks can see
An' understan' the natur' of the critter thet I be.

Wall, thet's the kind er thing I be; but in our neighborhood
Lived young Joe Craig, an' young Jim Stump, an' Hiram Underwood.
We growed like corn in the same hill, jest like four sep'rit stalks;
For they wuz lunkheads, jest like me, an' lummuxes an' gawks.

Now, I knew I wuz a lunkhead; but them fellers didn't know,
Thought they wuz bigges' punkins an' the purtiest in the row.
An' I, I uster laff an' say, " Them lunkhead chaps will see
W'en they go out into the worl' w'at gawky things they be."

Joe Craig, he wuz a lunkhead, but it didn't get through his pate;
I guess you've all heerd tell of him — he's gov'nor of the State!
Jim Stump, he blundered off to war -- a most uncommon gump —
Didn't know enough to know it—an' he come home General Stump.
