—Fact, he worked round sawin’ wood,
Earnin’ what few cents he could,
Got that name o’ Posh in fun;
Dad had named him Washington;
Children got to call him “Wash.”
Then at last ’twas jest “Old Posh.”
That’s the way you knew, a name
Sort of fits itself with fame:
If he’d growed some great big gun.
Would have called him Washington.
