8t My mamma, she bid me to put him to bed; Oh, but I won't have him. I put him to bed, and he slept like he's dead With his old gray beard a-shining.

I open the door and he fell through the floor With his old boots and logums.
2. My mother told me to set him a stool. Oh! but I won't have him!
I set him a stool and he set like a fool With his old boots and logums.
