'Copies of this very popular song can always be had in the Poet's Box, 80 London Street, Glasgow'.
First lines read: Once I was happy, but now I'm forlorn, / Like an old coat that is tattered and torn, / Left on this wide world to fret and to mourn, / Betrayed by a maid in her teens. / The girl that I loved she was handsome, / I tried all I knew her to please, / But I could not please her one quarter so well / As that man upon the trapeze.
Dated at the foot of the sheet - 'Saturday, July 11, 1874'.
