Many rocks the rapid has 
lot of billows the sea 
More plentiful are my cares 
Than cones on a [bad word] 
Beard moss on a juniper 
Gnarls upon a pine bark 
 [bad word] upon a fir husks on a grass-top 
Boughs on a bad tree. 

Drag my cares away 
Carry off my griefs 
For no horse can draw 
No iron-shod jerk 
Without the shaft-bow shaking off 
The cares of this skinny one 
The sorrows of this black bird
