When you’ve got no chance at all, <br />Take it fightin’. <br />When you’re driven to the wall, <br />Take it fightin’. <br /> <br />There are things that we delight in <br />For the wrongin’ or the rightin’, <br />But the fool you cannot frighten <br />(That you cannot bluff nor frighten) <br />He is King of all. <br />(Take it fightin’.) <br /> <br />When you’re down an’ out an’ utter, <br />Take it fightin’; <br />When they’ve put you in the gutter, <br />Take it fightin’. <br /> <br />There are things that we delight in <br />For the wrongin’ or the rightin’, <br />But the fool you cannot frighten <br />(That you cannot bluff nor frighten) <br />He is King of all. <br />(Take it fightin’.)<br /><br />Henry Lawson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/take-it-fightin/
