Only A Pin - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
ONLY A PIN. As recited with great success by Gus Williams. 
It was only a pin As it lay on the floor, Shining and bright As it glistened in the noonday light. 
Only a boy. Yet he saw that pin, And on its possession became so intent. That soon both boy and pin alike were bent 
Only a chair, Yet he placed the pin there, And not one in a thousand could have discerned That the point of the pin was heavenward turned. 
Only a man! Yet he sat on that chair, Then he bounced in the air like a cork from a bottle, And a most unearthly sound came out of his throttle. 
Only a yell, But it was an honest one, It rent the air-and soon boy, man and chair Mingled in much confusion were.
