An' nineteen carriages, an' folks with verses

Sayin' how great I was, an' all like that,

An' wreaths, an' girls with crapes around their hat

Tellin' the world how bad their hearts was broke,

An' you, just smashed to think I had to croak....

I can't stand that bird, somehow—makes me cry....

The world'll be darn sorry when I die!
