FIRST VOICE.
Oh! tell me have you ever seen a red, long-leg'd Flamingo?
Oh! tell me have you ever yet seen him the water in go?
SECOND VOICE.
Oh! yes at Bowling-Green I've seen a red long-leg'd Flamingo,
Oh! yes at Bowling-Green I've there seen him the water in go.
FIRST VOICE.
Oh! tell me did you ever see a bird so funny stand-o
When forth he from the water comes and gets upon the land-o?
SECOND VOICE.
No! in my life I ne'er did see a bird so funny stand-o
When forth he from the water comes and gets upon the land-o.
