A. an Bill. Our last sightuv Billwuz jest is back, Far off in th distance, beneath is pack. Couldn go t th train, his mother an me, A-makin it harder fer Bill, y see. We stood on the sidewalk, an watched em go Shoulder t shoulder, an row on row. Bill couldn speak, but is head wuz high. quot He gave us a look, an waved Good bye, quot An I couldn help feelin ez fathers, will, quotEf it only wuz me instead uv Billquot 10 BILL S DAD We didn say much, at supper, that night, An mother seemed older more feeble an white, She stuck it out somehow, ez brave ez could be Never thought uv herself, but allus uv me. We seen in th papers at BilPd reached France, An off t th front, at th very first chance, It told how th Frenchmen thanked God, on their knees, When the Star Spangled Banner flew out on th breeze, Still I couldn help feelin ez fathers will, quotEf it only wuz me instead uv Billquot
