As if he were jiggered by strings;—
Arrived at the Atkinson tarvun one night
And says to Elkanah, says he:
“I want to be called just as soon as it’s light,
For I’m going first train, don’t ye see.

But I find in these country hotels
The service ye get gives a fellah a pain
—They don’t even answer the bells.
Now I want to be called for that train, me good
