And the wife gloom’d, her husband half-drunk for to see,

And he, while undressing, his folly confessing,

Cried, I’ll never take up with such bad companie.

The Irish Comic Vocalist. 1862.

——:o:——

The Land of the West.

O come to the Wild West, O come there with me,

To see th’ exhibition of Buffalo B—,

Where the fair ladies shoot at the glass balls up-thrown;

O come to the wild west—and come not alone.
