But “Old Posh” was just as good

For a poor chap sawin’ wood.

Critter never made no talk.

—Made his old saw screak and scrawk,

Earnt his dollar’n ten a day.

—Didn’t leave much time for play.

Had a wife and boys to keep,

Reelly had to skinch his sleep.

I’ve been out sir, late at night

Seen him at it good and tight.
