Dear fellow 'catters, I need your help to fill in a word I don't understand in "Little Wheel, Spin And Spin" by Buffy Sainte-Marie...

Little wheel, spin and spin,
Big wheel turn around and around. (twice)

Merry Christmas, Jingle bells,
Christ is born and the devil's in hell.
Hearts they shrink, pockets swell,
Everybody know and nobody tell.

Little wheel...

"Oh, the sins of Cesar's men!"
Cry the pious citizens.
Petty thieves, the five and tens,
And the big wheel turn around and around.

Little wheel...

Blame the angels, blame the fates,
Blame the [....]
Teach your children who to hate
And the big wheel turn around and around.

Little wheel...

Turn your back on weeds you've hoed,
Silly sinful sins you've sowed.
Add your straw to the camel's load,
Pray like hell when the world explode.

Little wheel...

"Swing your girl" the fiddlers say,
Later on the piper pay.
Do-si-do, swing and sway,
Dead will dance on Judgment Day.

Thanks!

Mad Maudlin
