THEN THE PIPE WENT OUT. Copyright, 1896, by H W. Petrie. Words by Isaac O. Reynolds. Music by H. W. Petrie. 
To an opium joint a poor tramp went, a little pill he bought; He smoked the pipe in great delight, and all his woes forgot: A fair young bride was by his side, in a mansion of their own: He was free from care, a millionaire, with all the joys of home. 
Chorus. Then the pipe went out-how funny it did seem; The pipe went out, and it was but a dream. Thro' the city he must roam, for the poor trump had no homeIt's all over now, the pipe went out. 
Once a maid so coy loved her dear boy, "not wisely, but too well!" And she would share his joys and care, and all her secrets tell; Her bank account, a large amount, she let him take away, For he said he'd bring a diamond ring, and they would wed some day. 
Chorus. Then the pipe went out-how funny it did seem; The pipe went out, and it was but a dream. For his love was but a "bluff," and he worked her for her "stuff"It's all over now, the pipe went out. 
To the city went old farmer Bent, his load of hay to sell; When on the street, he chanced to meet a man who knew him well; The young man told a tale of gold, how great wealth they could win. "Well, that looks quite fair, I do declare," said the farmer with a grin. 
Chorus. Then the pipe went out-how funny it did seem; The pipe went out, and it was but a dream, For the farmer borrowed ten, and he left the banco thenIt's all over now, the pipe went out. 
Once a poor old maid was much afraid she'd never he a wife, She often said that she would wed if it should cost her life, Then she fancied that beside her sat the man she'd waited for: And the old maid smiled and kissed her child, that played upon the floor. 
Chorus. Then the pipe went out-how funny it did seem; The pipe went out, And it was but a dream; For she waked up with a start, And she died of broken heartIt's all over now, the pipe went out. 
To the races I went on pleasure bent, and got a friendly tip To place my "dough," and I did so-on a long shot they called "Grip." I bet every son; I'd win I knew-the race was "fixed," you see: I would win the stake, the "dough" I'd take, five hundred clear I'd be 
Chorus. Then the pipe went out-how funny it did seem; The pipe went out, and it was but a dream; He was coming in ahead, when he stopped and fell stone deadIt's all over now, the pipe went out. 
Once a pugilist thought that with his fist 'most any man he'd maul; He said that he would champion be, the boss sludger of them all; Be was sure to win, and take their tin, and an actor he would be: He'd go on the stage, he all the rage, and crowds would come to see 
Chorus. Then the pipe went out-how funny it did seem; The pipe went out, and it was all a dream, 
For he stood up one short round, then slept upon the groundIt's all over now, the pipe went out. 
ADDITIONAL VERSES. - BY ARTHUR J. LAMB. 
A young man took his girl one day a-bathing in the sea: He oft had thought what joys he'd know when they should married be; But when she left her bathing van, she made the young man gape. He felt quite like a different man when he beheld her shape. 
Chorus. Then the pipe went out-he saw her lightly clad; The pipe went out, it nearly drove him mad: For he saw his future bride was a woman ossified It's all over now, the pipe went out. 
A girl, whose love had been away for many weary years. Would think that he was true to her when she was lost in tears; One day she looked into a jail, the prison sights to see. When suddenly an old voice said, "Do you remember me?" 
Chorus. Then the pipe went out when she beheld her John; The pipe went out -he had strange colors on: In a suit of white and gray, he was pounding stones all dayIt's all over now, the pipe went out. 
Upon the street a young man met a lady with a veil; His raised his hat and said to her, "Let's split a pint of ale!" The hour was late, and so they passed into a cafe near: Unto the boy she held real fast and said, "Come, kiss me, dear." 
Chorus. And the pipe went out when she removed her veil; The pipe went out, and the young man turned pale; For it set. his head awhirl, he had mashed a colored girlIt's all over now, the pipe went out. 
A man had found that wedded life was quite a joy And boon, Was told one day his pretty wife would be a mother soon. While waiting for the happy news to bring his home-life joy; He said that he would have the blues unless it proved a boy. 
Chorus. Then the pipe went out, and naughty things he said; The pipe went out. he wished he was not wed; There were triplets, don't you see, and of girls be had just threeIt's all over now, the pipe went out. 
If England thinks to own the sea, she cannot have the earth. She's always shown she wished to he a tyrant from her birth; Venezuela wants its rights for Uncle Sam to fix, So England should recall the fights of 1778.

A minister from off the stage a pretty girl once took: In village work she did engage, and her had ways forsook; But one day when he took her to a country dance out there. The parson scarce knew what to do when the brass band played an air.
