Well, I wants to go!

Whut 's de use o' livin' hyeah,

Wen de gal you loves so deah,

Goes back on you clean an' cleah—

I sh'd like to know?

THE NEWS

Whut dat you whisperin' keepin' f'om me?

Don't shut me out 'cause I 's ol' an' can't see.

Somep'n's gone wrong dat 's a-causin' you dread,—

Don't be afeared to tell—Whut! mastah dead?
