Oh, "Happy, happy be thy dreams," When you're "Coram' thro' the rye;*'
"I wish I was in Dixie's Land"—
"Dear mother, I've come home to die."
Call me, etc.
" Dear Tom," " 'Twas my grandma's advice,*
'' Don't ever fly your kite too high;" "I'm over young to marry yet,"
"Says the spider to the fly." " We met by chance," at " Donnybrook Fair,"
Where "No Irish need apply:" "I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls"—
"Dear mother, I've come home to die."
Call me, etc.
"Yes, dearest, I will love thee more,"
"I'll hang my harp on a willow-tree;" " Our Billy was a butcher-boy,"
And " Sally is the gal for me." "A dainty plant's the Ivy green,"
"Then, comrades, raise your banners high;n "I wish I had a fat contract"—
" Dear mother, I've come home to die."
Call me, etc. |

What is the apparent difference between the Prince of Wales, an orphan, a bald head, and a gorilla? The Prince of Wales is the heir apparent, an orphan has ne'er a parent, a bald head has no hair apparent, and a gorilla has a hairy parent. |
