(Carl Sandburg)
|
Tell old Bill when he leaves home this mornin', tell old Bill when he leaves home this evenin',
|
Tell old Bill when he leaves home to let those downtown girls alone, this mornin', this evenin', so soon.
|
|
Old Sal was bakin' bread this mornin'. Old Sal was bakin' bread this evenin'.
|
Old Sal was bakin' bread when she got word that Bill was dead, this mornin', this evenin', so soon.
|
|
Oh, no! It can't be so this mornin'. Oh, no! It can't be so this evenin'.
|
Oh, no! It can't be so. My Bill left home about an hour ago, this mornin', this evenin', so soon.
|
|
They brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon this mornin'. They brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon this evenin'.
|
Brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon. Brought Bill home with his toes a-draggin' this mornin', this evenin', so soon. This mornin', this evenin', so soon.
