So though many years have since passed away, And I've ventured on various routes, I'm still tryin' things jist as risky today As my fust pair of copper toed boots. SO THOUGH MANY YEARS HAVE PASSED AWAY AND I'VE VENTURED ON VARIOUS ROOTS I'M STILL TRYING THINGS JUST AS RISKY TO DAY AS MY FIRST PAIR OF COPPER TOED BOOTS
 when I fust tried them on, And bravely marched out on the floor, And father remarked "thar a mighty good fit And the best to be had at the store." That night, I remember, I took them to bed, With the rest of us little galoots, And among other things in my prars which I sed Wuz a reference to copper toed boots. And then in the mornin' the fust one on hand Wuz me and my new acquisition, And thar wuzn't a spot in the house that I missed, From the garret clar down to the kitchen. Then with feelin's expandin', and huntin' fer room, I concluded I'd help do the chores; Fer I felt as though somethin' wuz goin' to bust If I didn't git right out of doors. But those boots they were new, and the ice it wuz slick, And I couldn't get one way or tother, And I jist had to stand right there in one spot And holler like thunder fer mother. But trouble's a blessing sometimes in disguise Fer I larned right thar on the spot, That the best sort of knowledge to hav in this world Is that by experience taught. FOLK STOOD AROUND WHEN I FIRST TRIED THEM ON AND BRAVELY MARCHED OUT ON THE FLOOR AND FATHER REMARKED THEY'RE MIGHTY GOOD FIT AND THE BEST TO BE HAD AT THE STORE THAT NIGHT I REMEMBER I TOOK THEM TO BED WITH THE REST OF US LITTLE GALOOTS AND AMONG OTHER THINGS IN MY PRAYERS WHICH I SAID WAS A REFERENCE TO COPPER TOED BOOTS AND THEN IN THE MORNING THE FIRST ONE ON HAND WAS ME AND MY NEW ACQUISITION AND THERE WASN'T A SPOT IN THE HOUSE THAT I MISSED FROM THE GARRET CLEAR DOWN TO THE KITCHEN THEN WITH FEELIN'S EXPANDIN AND HUNTIN FOR ROOM I CONCLUDED I'D HELP DO THE CHORES FOR I FELT AS THOUGH SOMETHIN WAS GOIN TO BUST IF I DIDN'T GET RIGHT OUT O DOORS BUT THOSE BOOTS THEY WERE NEW AND THE ICE IT WAS SLICK AND I COULDN'T GET ONE WAY OR T'OTHER AND I JUST HAD TO STAND RIGHT THERE IN ONE SPOT AN HOLLER LIKE THUNDER FER MOTHER BUT TROUBLE'S A BLESSING SOMETIMES IN DISGUISE FOR I LEARNED RIGHT THERE ON THE SPOT THAT THE BEST SORT OF KNOWLEDGE TO HAVE IN THIS WORLD IS THAT BY EXPERIENCE TAUGHT
