five to nine in the morning
I 've guaranteed you to be square , and you 're to come in on the profits equal with the boys , and you 've got to help . Two hundred hands on this plantation are expecting to be paid a week 's wages to-morrow morning . To-morrow 's Christmas , and they want to lay off . Says the boss : ` Work from five to nine in the morning to get a train load of sugar off , and I 'll pay every man cash down for the week and a day extra . ' They say : ` Hooray for the boss ! It goes . ' He drives to Noo Orleans to-day , and fetches back the cold dollars .
