DESCRIPTION:
Image: In the chutes I graduated instead of going to school--Remember, friends, my parents they were poor; When a boy left the cradle it was always made the rule; To try to keep starvation from the door. At eight years of age to the breaker first I went, To learn the occupation of a slave; I was certainly delighted, and on picking slate was bent --My ambition it was noble, strong and brave.
