When times are hard and gold is mighty dear,
II makes old togies grow and young ones try,
The ladies' BEES them, sigh aud drop tear,
And wonder why 1t is that goods are high.
When Wall Street gamblers make aud sometimes lose
Large sized fortunes in single day
When Government contractors never lose,
But always do c0nirive TO make II pay
What wonder that you pay full double price
For anything you want, that Is quite nice;
My goods cost at present nearly double,
To manufacture them is not much trouble,
j make the best Hoop Skirts that 8 In the town,
By so doing have got the most renown
My new style tape ia clasped over zach spring.
And do really think they ought to bring
Joy into each household where they are worm
By any lady even II her form
Should not compare in beauty aud in grace
With any other ladies in the place
MY cord Hoop Skirts I've told you of before,
Our styles the latest, and really what more
Could say except our Skirts are best,
Because We make them better than the rest
one thing more must tell-after to-day
We repair our Hoop Skirts without any nav
And hold on seth we are all out of rhyme
Wind up the machine, tell the rest next time.
