"It ain't much of a story," replied the
guard. "Your talking there reminded me

And now and then he danced a Jig to

And then he sang a merry song I d never

"It's thirty dollars every week, for tidy

The kids have patent leather shoes, the
wife Is wearing lace:
I go to work at S o'clock, and I am

It's thirty dollars every week for sweep

The only thing that troubles me Is dodg

And that's my automobile that Is stand

It's thirty dollars every week for sweep

"The chap that washes windows draws
