Then off goes King Cotton to find Johnny Bull, And deep in his counting-house found him; (Of idols and opium the top shelves were full, With Bibles and prayer-books Plutus, I will,” says King Cotton. Then off goes King Cotton to find Johnny Bull, And deep in his counting-house found him; (Of idols and opium the top shelves were full, With Bibles and prayer-books just round him.) “Your help or your life, Master Johnny!” says he; “Up, arm, and bring Paddy and Scot on!
