THE LITTLE BERG Is BIO ENOUGH
FOR ME,
You can boast about yer cities,
Aud their btoady growth ana ulss,
And brag abo II yer county suau
An business gnturpr 90,
AM railroads ana factories,
And all ulch iooery.-
Hut tho little berg " Osnabctg
IL big enough for mo-
You can harp about yer churches,
with their stecplos In the clouds,
And saa about ycr giadod stfooa,
And blow about yer crowds
You Kin talk about or thcatora
And all you've got 10 900
hut the little berg Of Oanaborg
leslow enough for me-
Some nnd II dlsoommodous
Like, I'm willing ~ admit
TO have but one pout'Iilcc
Aud notary koopin' ~
Aud the dry good, store and
Shoe shop aud grocery, all three,
hut the llttlo borg Of Oanaburg
10 handy enough for me,
You kin smile aud turn
Yer nose up, aud Joke
And hoy yer fun,
Aud laugh and holler.
Tail-holtu 10 better holts than mono,
M the city suits you bottor
wy, hits whore you'd orto bci
hut tho little berg Of OOnabcrg
Ia good enough Tor me-
