GREENBACKS. |

|
THOU ART SO NEAR, AND YET SO FAR. As sung by G. A. ParrErson.
I know an eye so softly bright, That glistens like a star of night; My soul it draws with g]anees kind, To heaven's blue vault, and there I find Another star, as pure and clear As that winch mildly sparkles here. Beloved eye, beloved star, Thou art so near, and yet so far 1—
. Chortis—Beloved eye, etc.
That eye, so soft as violets blue, A treasure bears of morning dew; And when its light entranced I see, "What joy, what pain possesses me! A world where I would gladly dwell Is that bright orb I love so well. Beloved eye, beloved star, Thou art so near, and yet so far!—
Beloved eye, etc. |

GEEENBACKS. (As sung, with tremendous applause, by Hooley's Minstrels.)
How are you, greenbacks, ten or twonty ?
Four-forty on de turnpike-gate; How are you, Father Abram ? From one to five I have got plenty. Then while we sing, de heel-tap ring,
And de banjo sounds like a jim-jam! Five dollars now is quite a sum too—
Four-forty on de turnpike-gate; How are you, Father Abram ? Then while we sing, de heel-tap ring,
And de banjo sounds like a jim-jam 1 |
