First Line: Knowlt hoheimer ran away to the war Last Line: Back of every soldier is a woman.
KNOWLT HOHEIMER ran away to the war The day before Curl Trenary Swore out a warrant through Justice Arnett For stealing hogs. But that's not the reason he turned a soldier. He caught me running with Lucius Atherton. We quarreled and I told him never again To cross my path. Then he stole the hogs and went to the war -- Back of every soldier is a woman.
