That's what's the Matter with Hannah.

Joe loves his toddy and pipe,
Joe who was gentle and tender.
Now il may not be hurtful 10 smoke,
But Joe ought not TO go on bender,
For then he is out late at night,
And is sufIy and rough in his manner,
Folks say he is talking too much
And that's what's the matter with Hannah
don't believe in whining about
lis waste Of one's time and folly,
And like good rollicking laugh,
And good friends all about who are Jolly.
But Joe tarries too long ut the wine,
And his wife when happen to scan her,
Looks anxious and pale, and know
That that's what's the matter with Hannah
Hes generous fellow, that joe
And fast fellows are always around him;
And he's kind and good-natured TO all,
But he drinks with too many confound him
And one is an oily-tongued chap,
They say he's dangerous planncr,
And he sticks 10 Joe's side like leech--
And that's what's the matter wthIiannah. :
Joe has a snug little house.
But his meek little wife has her sorrow;
Each day gives new strength TO her fears,
And she shudders to think of tomorrow.
Though she smiles, and tries hard 10 be gay,
There is something, alas in her manner,
Which says she is anxious for joe
And that's what's the matter with Hannah.
