Old Slew Foot was a Corporal in the army
 on the battlefield he seen that so alarming
 Oh! slew foot had a prosthetic
 when he put it on he would walk run even dance he felt lit
 not pathetic 

~

Old Slew Foot walk the mile
 he co-created a blessed child
 Old Slew Foot was sleeping in a chair
 because all he had left in him was one leg and a prayer    AMEN

Old sleuth foot such a character an old veteran with one leg yet he still happy ~ Old Slew Foot with a gorilla chest he smelled of menthol from his breath Oh! slew foot was quite tall he can stand on his one leg problem but never fall ~ Old Slew Foot was a Corporal in the army on the battlefield he seen that so alarming Oh! slew foot had a prosthetic when he put it on he would walk run even dance he felt lit not pathetic ~ Old Slew Foot walk the mile he co-created a blessed child Old Slew Foot was sleeping in a chair because all he had left in him was one leg and a prayer
