Hi

If anyone know the missing words that I can't find on this song by "Hobo" Jack Turner AKA Ernest Hare...it would be a great help. English is not my main language.

Many thanks.

Let me sing a tale that’s all but true
A little song I learn to croon
I think that I forgot the words I knew
And I can’t remember the tune

It’s a tune my papy sang
You all know how it goes
It’s a tale about two honest man
That everybody know

The squire and the deacon ….
Debating about religion on the old town square
Till the golden sunshine   …   the deep blue sea
The squire and the deacon gonna disagree

The squire and the deacon are a…..
The deacon swap the poney for the squire’s mare
The squire sold his poney then he bought the deacon’s room
The   ….          the bunk until the cow came home

The squire met the deacon at the county fair
Started in debating about religion there
The deacon kept         on the devil …
‘Cause the deacon like is bible like the squire love corn

The squire and the deacon kept a growing old
The squire got the fever and the nasty cold
The squire kept a …       devil….
The deacon came around and try to save his soul

The deacon kept a praying but the squire … and die
…          deacon lay down by his side
He ….       and then he pray for death
Then        ….         drew his one last breath


The squire and the deacon are….      
The deacon met the squire on the golden stairs
Now the squire and the deacon dressed in angels
And debating ‘bout religion up in paradise
