When i first put this uniform on
Oh patience! you will break my heart.
G· C·—
I said when I first put it on,
It's plain to the veriest dunce,
That every beauty
Will feel it her duty
To yield to the Alton at once.
They will see that I'm freely gold laced,
In a uniform handsome and chaste,
And a gentleman connected with the Chicago and Alton
Should be very much to their taste;
A fact that I counted upon
When I first put this uniform on.
CHORUS.
