Griggsby’s Station. Old home of a newly-made rich family, for which they pine,—
“In a great big house with cyarpets on the stairs
And the pump right in the kitchen.”
“Let’s go a-visitin’ back to Griggsby Station.
Back where they’s nothin’ aggervatin’ any more,
Shet away safe in the woods around the old location,
Back where we ust to be so happy an’ so pore.”
