THE YOUNG TRAMP

By Chas. F. Adams

Hello, thar, stranger! Whar yer frum?

Come in and make yerself ter hum!

We’re common folks, ain’t much on style;

Come in and stop a little while;

’Twon’t do no harm ter rest yer some.

Youngster, yer pale, and don’t look well!

What, way from Bosting? Naow, dew tell!

Why, that’s a hundred mile or so;
