He was gettin’ weak near the finish,

Swayin’ all over the road,

An’ I cries, “We must save the kiddy’s life,”

An’ ’e ’urried as if ’e knowed.

Twenty yards from the doctor’s

’E staggered an’ then he fell;

I picked myself up and ran on foot

An’ tugged at the doctor’s bell.

I gave the doctor the message,

Told ’im to ’urry of course,
